Binary codes of length $n$ may be viewed as subsets of vertices of the Boolean hypercube $\{0,1\}^n$. The ability of a linear error-correcting code to recover erasures is connected to influences of particular monotone Boolean functions.…

An extension of the empirical copula is considered by combining an estimator of a multivariate cumulative distribution function with estimators of the marginal cumulative distribution functions for marginal estimators that are not…

In a function that takes its inputs from various players, the effect of a player measures the variation he can cause in the expectation of that function. In this paper we prove a tight upper bound on the number of players with large effect,…

In this paper we establish a number of new estimates concerning the prime counting function \pi(x), which improve the estimates proved in the literature. As an application, we deduce a new result concerning the existence of prime numbers in…

It is disproved the Tokareva's conjecture that any balanced boolean function of appropriate degree is a derivative of some bent function. This result is based on new upper bounds for the numbers of bent and plateaued functions.

Coalition Logic is primarily concerned with what coalitions can achieve, whereas what coalitions cannot achieve -- their \emph{inability} -- has received comparatively little explicit attention. This asymmetry matters in artificial…

Higher-Order Influence Functions (HOIFs) provide a unified theory for constructing rate-optimal estimators for a large class of low-dimensional (smooth) statistical functionals/parameters (and sometimes even infinite-dimensional functions)…

Extensive studies of Boolean functions are carried in many fields. The Mobius transform is often involved for these studies. In particular, it plays a central role in coincident functions, the class of Boolean functions invariant by this…

We give a new presentation of the main result of Arunachalam, Bri\"et and Palazuelos (SICOMP'19) and show that quantum query algorithms are characterized by a new class of polynomials which we call Fourier completely bounded polynomials. We…

We generalize a result of Matom\"aki, Radziwi{\l}{\l}, and Tao, by proving an averaged version of a conjecture of Chowla and a conjecture of Elliott regarding correlations of the Liouville function, or more general bounded multiplicative…

The Fourier-Entropy Influence (FEI) Conjecture states that for any Boolean function $f:\{+1,-1\}^n \to \{+1,-1\}$, the Fourier entropy of $f$ is at most its influence up to a universal constant factor. While the FEI conjecture has been…

The evolution of high order correlation functions of a test scalar field in arbitrary inflationary backgrounds is computed. Whenever possible, exact results are derived from quantum field theory calculations. Taking advantage of the fact…

We explain why numbers occurring in the classification of polygon spaces coincide with numbers of self-dual equivalence classes of threshold functions, or of regular Boolean functions, or of decisive weighted majority games.
