Abstract

We prove that for every 3-player (3-prover) game G\mathcal G with value less than one, whose query distribution has the support S={(1,0,0),(0,1,0),(0,0,1)}\mathcal S = \{(1,0,0), (0,1,0), (0,0,1)\} of hamming weight one vectors, the value of the nn-fold parallel repetition Gn\mathcal G^{\otimes n} decays polynomially fast to zero; that is, there is a constant c=c(G)>0c = c(\mathcal G)>0 such that the value of the game Gn\mathcal G^{\otimes n} is at most ncn^{-c}. Following the recent work of Girish, Holmgren, Mittal, Raz and Zhan (STOC 2022), our result is the missing piece that implies a similar bound for a much more general class of multiplayer games: For every\textbf{every} 3-player game G\mathcal G over binary questions\textit{binary questions} and arbitrary answer lengths\textit{arbitrary answer lengths}, with value less than 1, there is a constant c=c(G)>0c = c(\mathcal G)>0 such that the value of the game Gn\mathcal G^{\otimes n} is at most ncn^{-c}. Our proof technique is new and requires many new ideas. For example, we make use of the Level-kk inequalities from Boolean Fourier Analysis, which, to the best of our knowledge, have not been explored in this context prior to our work.
