Abstract
We present a template for the Promise Constraint Satisfaction Problem (PCSP)
which is NP-hard but does not satisfy the current state-of-the-art hardness
condition [ACMTCT'21]. We introduce a new "injective" condition based on the
smooth version of the layered PCP Theorem and use this new condition to confirm
that the problem is indeed NP-hard. In the second part of the article, we
establish a dichotomy for Boolean PCSPs defined by templates with polymorphisms
in the set of linear threshold functions. The reasoning relies on the new
injective condition.
