Abstract

Let (Ai)i[s](\mathcal{A}_i)_{i \in [s]} be a sequence of dense subsets of the Boolean cube {0,1}n\{0,1\}^n and let pp be a prime. We show that if ss is assumed to be superpolynomial in nn then we can find distinct i,ji,j such that the two distributions of every mod-pp linear form on Ai\mathcal{A}_i and Aj\mathcal{A}_j are almost positively correlated. We also prove that if ss is merely assumed to be sufficiently large independently of nn then we may require the two distributions to have overlap bounded below by a positive quantity depending on pp only.
