Reduction from Triangle Detection to Independent Set Queries

FROM: Triangle Detection TO: Independent Set Queries

Implications

if: to-time: $O(n^{2} / \log^c n)$ to answer all subsequent batches of $\log n$ independent set queries from a graph that takes $O(n^k)$ time to preprocess for some $c,k > {0}$
then: from-time: $O(n^{3} / \log^{c+1} n)$
