We show that sharp thresholds for Boolean functions directly imply average-case circuit lower bounds. More formally we show that any Boolean function exhibiting a sharp enough threshold at \emph{arbitrary} critical density cannot be…

A Boolean function f over n variables is said to be q-locally correctable if, given a black-box access to a function g which is "close" to an isomorphism f_sigma of f, we can compute f_sigma(x) for any x in Z_2^n with good probability using…

Classes of polynomial differential equations of degree n are considered. An explicit upper bound on the size of the coefficients are given which implies that each equation in the class has exactly n complex periodic solutions. In most of…

A function defined on the Boolean hypercube is $k$-Fourier-sparse if it has at most $k$ nonzero Fourier coefficients. For a function $f: \mathbb{F}_2^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ and parameters $k$ and $d$, we prove a strong upper bound on the…

We consider percolation on high-dimensional product graphs, where the base graphs are regular and of bounded order. In the subcritical regime, we show that typically the largest component is of order logarithmic in the number of vertices.…

Leveraging tools of De, Mossel, and Neeman [FOCS, 2019], we show two different results pertaining to the \emph{tolerant testing} of juntas. Given black-box access to a Boolean function $f:\{\pm1\}^{n} \to \{\pm1\}$, we give a $poly(k,…

Let $E$ be an arbitrary closed set on the unit circle $\partial \mathbb{D}$, u be a harmonic function on the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ satisfying $|u(z)|\lesssim (1-|z|)^\gamma \rho^{-q}(z)$ where $\rho(z)= \mathop{\rm dist}(z, E)$, $\gamma$,…

Let f(x) = f(x_1, ..., x_n) = \sum_{|S| <= k} a_S \prod_{i \in S} x_i be an n-variate real multilinear polynomial of degree at most k, where S \subseteq [n] = {1, 2, ..., n}. For its "one-block decoupled" version, f~(y,z) = \sum_{|S| <= k}…

Alexopoulos proved that on a finitely generated virtually nilpotent group, the restriction of a harmonic function of polynomial growth to a torsion-free nilpotent subgroup of finite index is always a polynomial in the Mal'cev coordinates of…

Assume Vojta's Conjecture. Suppose $a, b, \alpha,\beta \in \mathbb{Z}$, and $f(x),g(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ are polynomials of degree $d \ge 2$. Assume that the sequence $(f^{\circ n}(a), g^{\circ n}(b))_n$ is generic and $\alpha,\beta$ are…

The approximate degree of a Boolean function $f(x_{1},x_{2},\ldots,x_{n})$ is the minimum degree of a real polynomial that approximates $f$ pointwise within $1/3$. Upper bounds on approximate degree have a variety of applications in…

Using Talagrand's concentration inequality on the discrete cube {0,1}^m we show that given a real-valued function Z(x)on {0,1}^m that satisfies certain monotonicity conditions one can control the deviations of Z(x) above its median by a…

Let $V$ be a vector space over a finite field $k$. We give a condition on a subset $A \subset V$ that allows for a local criterion for checking when a function $f:A \to k$ is a restriction of a polynomial function of degree $<m$ on $V$. In…

We show an equivalence between 1-query quantum algorithms and representations by degree-2 polynomials. Namely, a partial Boolean function $f$ is computable by a 1-query quantum algorithm with error bounded by $\epsilon<1/2$ iff $f$ can be…

The algebraic degree of Boolean functions (or vectorial Boolean functions) is an important cryptographic parameter that should be computed by fast algorithms. They work in two main ways: (1) by computing the algebraic normal form and then…

Let $f_1,\dots,f_k \in \mathbb{R}[X]$ be polynomials of degree at most $d$ with $f_1(0)=\dots=f_k(0)=0$. We show that there is an $n<x$ such that $\|f_i(n)\|\ll x^{-1/10.5kd(d-1)+o(1)}$ for all $1\le i\le k$. This improves on an earlier…

In this paper we are concerned with the Bohnenblust--Hille type inequalities for certain polynomials of bounded degree but of very large number of variables. As the polynomials will be defined on groups, one can think about the problem as…

The hypercontractive inequality on the discrete cube plays a crucial role in many fundamental results in the Analysis of Boolean functions, such as the KKL theorem, Friedgut's junta theorem and the invariance principle. In these results the…

In this paper, we show that, for any $\beta \in [1,2]$, a given strictly positive real-valued continuous function on $[0,1]$ whose graph has upper box-counting dimension less than or equal to $\beta $ can be decomposed as a product of two…

We address the problem of finding optimal strategies for computing Boolean symmetric functions. We consider a collocated network, where each node's transmissions can be heard by every other node. Each node has a Boolean measurement and we…
