Linear system games are a generalization of Mermin’s magic square game introduced by Cleve and Mittal. They show that perfect strategies for linear system games in the tensor-product model of entanglement correspond to finite-dimensional operator solutions of a certain set of non-commutative equations. We investigate linear system games in the commuting-operator model of entanglement, where Alice and Bob’s measurement operators act on a joint Hilbert space, and Alice’s operators must commute with Bob’s operators. We show that perfect strategies in this model correspond to possibly infinite-dimensional operator solutions of the non-commutative equations. The proof is based around a finitely presented group associated with the linear system which arises from the non-commutative equations.

In fact, they consider a more general scenario called binary constraint system games, where each equation can be based on an arbitrary Boolean function of inputs.
