A sequence $(x_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ on the torus $\mathbb{T}$ exhibits Poissonian pair correlation if for all $s\geq0$, \begin{equation*} \lim_{N\to\infty} \frac{1}{N}\#\left\{1\leq m\neq n \leq N : |x_m-x_n| \leq \frac{s}{N}\right\} = 2s.…
This paper develops upper and lower bounds for the probability of Boolean functions by treating multiple occurrences of variables as independent and assigning them new individual probabilities. We call this approach dissociation and give an…
We consider the problem of testing whether an unknown Boolean function $f$ is monotone versus $\epsilon$-far from every monotone function. The two main results of this paper are a new lower bound and a new algorithm for this well-studied…
Let $p_k(n)$ be given by the $k$-th power of the Euler Product $\prod _{n=1}^{\infty}(1-q^n)^k=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}p_k(n)q^{n}$. By investigating the properties of the modular equations of the second and the third order under the Atkin…
We provide new query complexity separations against sensitivity for total Boolean functions: a power $3$ separation between deterministic (and even randomized or quantum) query complexity and sensitivity, and a power $2.22$ separation…
Boolean functions with good cryptographic criteria when restricted to the set of vectors with constant Hamming weight play an important role in the recent FLIP stream cipher. In this paper, we propose a large class of weightwise perfectly…
Since the theorems of Schur and van der Waerden, numerous partition regularity results have been proved for linear equations, but progress has been scarce for non-linear ones, the hardest case being equations in three variables. We prove…
Let $c_N(n)$ denotes the number of bipartitions $(\lambda, \mu)$ of a positive integer $n$ subject to the restriction that each part of $\mu$ is divisible by $N$. In this paper, we prove some congruence properties of the function $c_N(n)$…
We prove specific biases in the number of occurrences of parts belonging to two different residue classes $a$ and $b$, modulo a fixed non-negative integer $m$, for the sets of unrestricted partitions, partitions into distinct parts, and…
The partition function $pod(n)$ enumerates the partitions of $n$ wherein odd parts are distinct and even parts are unrestricted. Recently, a number of properties for $pod(n)$ have been established. In this paper, for $k\in\{0,2\}$ we…
Quantum theory allows for correlations between the outcomes of distant measurements that are inconsistent with any locally causal theory, as demonstrated by the violation of a Bell inequality. Typical demonstrations of these correlations…
Let $ E=\{ (1, b_1, \ldots , b_n)\in R^{n+1} \mid \; b_i= \pm 1 ,\; i=1, \ldots, n \}$, $E^{\times n}_{\ne 0} := \{ W=(w_{i_1}, \ldots , w_{i_n}) \mid w_{i_k}\in E, \, k=1, \ldots, n, \, dim \, span(w_{i_1}, \ldots , w_{i_n}) = n \},$ and…
We completely determine the free infinite divisibility for the Boolean stable law which is parametrized by a stability index $\alpha$ and an asymmetry coefficient $\rho$. We prove that the Boolean stable law is freely infinitely divisible…
We improve both upper and lower bounds for the distribution-free testing of monotone conjunctions. Given oracle access to an unknown Boolean function $f:\{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,1\}$ and sampling oracle access to an unknown distribution…
A well known result in the theory of uniform distribution modulo one (which goes back to Fej\'er and Csillag) states that the fractional parts $\{n^\alpha\}$ of the sequence $(n^\alpha)_{n\ge1}$ are uniformly distributed in the unit…
We show that the correlation functions of any single-field cosmological model with constant growing-modes are constrained by an infinite number of novel consistency relations, which relate (N+1)-point correlation functions with a…
We show that correlations inconsistent with any locally causal description can be a generic feature of measurements on entangled quantum states. Specifically, spatially-separated parties who perform local measurements on a…
Boolean functions with symmetry properties are interesting from a complexity theory perspective; extensive research has shown that these functions, if nonconstant, must have high `complexity' according to various measures. In recent work of…
Idempotent Boolean functions form a highly structured subclass of Boolean functions that is closely related to rotation symmetry under a normal-basis representation and to invariance under a fixed linear map in a polynomial basis. These…
We consider the number of various partitions of $n$ with parts separated by parity and prove combinatorially several inequalities between these numbers. For example, we show that for $n\geq 5$ we have $p_{od}^{eu}(n)<p_{ed}^{ou}(n)$, where…
