Our goal in this talk is t o confirm this\nsuspicion by casting these bounds into a framework of semi definite\noptimization that will give us almost for free a duality relatio n. As\none should always expect in this context\, we will see a connection to\nthe Lovász theta function of a graph.\n DTSTAMP:20250523T223547Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
