Abstract
We show that the minimal number of skewed hyperplanes that cover the hypercube is at least , and there are infinitely many 's when the hypercube can be covered with skewed hyperplanes. The minimal covering problems are closely related to uncertainty principle on the hypercube, where we also obtain an interpolation formula for multilinear polynomials on of degree less than by showing that its coefficients corresponding to the largest monomials can be represented as a linear combination of values of the polynomial over the points whose hamming weights are divisible by .
