We show the first dimension-preserving search-to-decision reductions for approximate SVP and CVP. In particular, for any $γ ≤ 1 + O(łog n/n)$, we obtain an efficient dimension-preserving reduction from $γ^{O(n/łog n)}$-SVP to $γ$-GapSVP and an efficient dimension-preserving reduction from $γ^{O(n)}$-CVP to $γ$-GapCVP. These results generalize the known equivalences of the search and decision versions of these problems in the exact case when $γ = 1$. For SVP, we actually obtain something slightly stronger than a search-to-decision reduction–we reduce $γ^{O(n/łog n)}$-SVP to $γ$-unique SVP, a potentially easier problem than $γ$-GapSVP.
