Abstract

Higher powers of the Odd Cycle Game has been the focus of recent investigations [3,4]. In [4] it was shown that if we repeat the game d times in parallel, the winning probability is upper bounded by 1 - Ω(√d/n√log d), when d ≤ n2 log n. We 1. Determine the exact value of the square of the game; 2. Show that if Alice and Bob are allowed to communicate a few bits they have a strategy with greatly increased winning probability; 3. Develop a new metric conjectured to give the precise value of the game up-to second order precision in 1/n for constant d. 4. Show an 1 - Ω(d/n log n) upper bound for d ≤ n log n if one player uses a "symmetric" strategy.
