Abstract

We show that for any n-dimensional lattice L ⊆ Rn, the torus Rn/L can be embedded into Hilbert space with O(√nlog n) distortion. This improves the previously best known upper bound of O(n√log n) shown by Haviv and Regev (APPROX 2010, J. Topol. Anal. 2013) and approaches the lower bound of Ω(√n) due to Khot and Naor (FOCS 2005, Math. Ann. 2006).
