  1. PCP and CSP A (gap) problem has a PCP iff can be reduced to CSP Variables are the bits of the proofs: assignment is a proof Constraints are the verifier program with different random tapes: constraint is satisfied by the assignment if the verifier accepts the proof Verifier accepts w/ prob. = 1 ↔ All constraints satisfied Verifier accepts w/ prob. < 1/2 ↔ Less than half satisfied qCSP with m constraints: each constraint involves q variables PCP(log m,q): q-query (non-adaptive) verifier, tosses at most log m coins 6
