A projection game, also called a label-cover instance, consists of a bipartite graph ,
finite label sets
and
, and, for every edge
, a projection
. A labeling satisfies
when the label of
equals the projection of the label of
. The value of the game is the largest fraction of edges that
can be satisfied simultaneously.
The projection games conjecture asserts that there is a constant such that, for every
, a satisfiability instance of size
can be reduced in polynomial
time to a projection game of size
, alphabet size
, perfect completeness, and soundness at most
(Moshkovitz 2015). The conjecture is a strengthening of the PCP
theorem.
