Abstract

The Friedgut--Kalai--Naor theorem states that if a Boolean function f ⁣:{0,1}n{0,1}f\colon \{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\} is close (in L2L^2-distance) to an affine function (x1,...,xn)=c0+icixi\ell(x_1,...,x_n) = c_0 + \sum_i c_i x_i, then ff is close to a Boolean affine function (which necessarily depends on at most one coordinate). We prove a similar theorem for functions defined over ([n]k)={(x1,...,xn){0,1}n:ixi=k}\binom{[n]}{k} = \{(x_1,...,x_n) \in \{0,1\}^n : \sum_i x_i = k \}.
