N2 - We present a new and conceptually simpler proof of a tight parallel-repetition theorem for public-coin arguments [Pass-Venkitasubramaniam, STOC’07], [H˚astad et al, TCC’10], [Chung-Liu, TCC’10].We follow the same proof framework as the previous non-tight parallel-repetition theorem of H˚astad et al—which relied on statistical distance to measure the distance between experiments—and show that it can be made tight (and further simplified) if instead relying on KL-divergence as the distance between the experiments. We then use this new proof to present the first tight “Chernoff-type” parallel repetition theorem for arbitrary public-coin arguments, demonstrating that parallel-repetition can be used to simultaneously decrease both the soundness and completeness error of any public-coin argument at a rate matching the standard Chernoff bound.
