We consider the sensitivity of algorithms for the maximum matching problem against edge and vertex modifications. Algorithms with low sensitivity are desirable because they are robust to edge failure or attack. In this work, we show a randomized $(1-ε)$-approximation algorithm with worst-case sensitivity $O_ε(1)$, which substantially improves upon the $(1-ε)$-approximation algorithm of Varma and Yoshida (arXiv 2020) that obtains average sensitivity $n^{O(1/(1+ε^2))}$ sensitivity algorithm, and show a deterministic $1/2$-approximation algorithm with sensitivity $\exp(O(\log^*n))$ for bounded-degree graphs. We show that any deterministic constant-factor approximation algorithm must have sensitivity $Ω(\log^* n)$. Our results imply that randomized algorithms are strictly more powerful than deterministic ones in that the former can achieve sensitivity independent of $n$ whereas the latter cannot. We also show analogous results for vertex sensitivity, where we remove a vertex instead of an edge. As an application of our results, we give an algorithm for the online maximum matching with $O_ε(n)$ total replacements in the vertex-arrival model. By comparison, Bernstein et al. (J. ACM 2019) gave an online algorithm that always outputs the maximum matching, but only for bipartite graphs and with $O(n\log n)$ total replacements. Finally, we introduce the notion of normalized weighted sensitivity, a natural generalization of sensitivity that accounts for the weights of deleted edges. We show that if all edges in a graph have polynomially bounded weight, then given a trade-off parameter $α>2$, there exists an algorithm that outputs a $\frac{1}{4α}$-approximation to the maximum weighted matching in $O(m\log_α n)$ time, with normalized weighted sensitivity $O(1)$.
