Abstract: In this note we improve a recent result by Arora, Khot, Kolla, Steurer, Tulsiani, and Vishnoi on solving the Unique Games problem on expanders. Given a

(1 - v a r e p s i l o n)

-satisfiable instance of Unique Games with the constraint graph

G

, our algorithm finds an assignment satisfying at least a

1 - C v a r e p s i l o n / h_{G}

fraction of all constraints if

v a r e p s i l o n < c l a m b d a_{G}

where

h_{G}

is the edge expansion of

G

,

l a m b d a_{G}

is the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian of

G

, and

C

and

c

are some absolute constants.
