Conditional Inapproximability and Limited Independence

Understanding the theoretical limitations of efficient computation is one of the most fundamental open problems of modern mathematics. This thesis studies the approximability of intractable optimization problems. In particular, we study so-called Max CSP problems. These are problems in which we are...
