    This paper considers the relationship between semidefinite programs (SDPs), matrix rank, and maximum cuts of graphs. Utilizing complementary slackness conditions for SDPs, we investigate when the rank 1 feasible solution corresponding to a max cut is the unique optimal solution to the Goemans-Williamson max cut SDP by showing the existence of an optimal dual solution with rank n−1. Our results consider connected bipartite graphs and graphs with multiple max cuts. We conclude with a conjecture for general graphs.
