The SDP value for random two-eigenvalue CSPs

We precisely determine the SDP value (equivalently, quantum value) of large random instances of certain kinds of constraint satisfaction problems, ``two-eigenvalue 2CSPs''. We show this SDP value coincides with the spectral relaxation value, possibly indicating a computational threshold. Our analysis extends the previously resolved cases of random regular $\mathsf{2XOR}$ and $\textsf{NAE-3SAT}$, and includes new cases such as random $\mathsf{Sort}_4$ (equivalently, $\mathsf{CHSH}$) and $\mathsf{Forrelation}$ CSPs. Our techniques include new generalizations of the nonbacktracking operator, the Ihara--Bass Formula, and the Friedman/Bordenave proof of Alon's Conjecture.
