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…

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…

Let $E$ be an arbitrary subset of the unit circle $T$ and let $f$ be a function defined on $E$. When there exist polynomials $P_n$ which are uniformly bounded by a number $M > 0$ on $T$ and converge (pointwise) to $f$ at each point of $E$?…

The best uniform polynomial approximation of the checkmark function $f(x)=|x-\alpha |$ is considered, as $\alpha$ varies in $(-1,1)$. For each fixed degree $n$, the minimax error $E_n (\alpha)$ is shown to be piecewise analytic in $\alpha$.…

We give a "regularity lemma" for degree-d polynomial threshold functions (PTFs) over the Boolean cube {-1,1}^n. This result shows that every degree-d PTF can be decomposed into a constant number of subfunctions such that almost all of the…

The capacity of quantum computation exceeds that of classical computers. A revolutionary step in computation is driven by quantumness or quantum correlations, which are permanent in entanglements but often in separable states; therefore,…

Quantum systems with constraints are often considered in modern theoretical physcics. All realistic field models based on the idea of gauge symmetry are of this type. A partial case of constraints being linear in coordinate and momenta…

Given an alphabet size $m\in\mathbb{N}$ thought of as a constant, and $\vec{k} = (k_1,\ldots,k_m)$ whose entries sum of up $n$, the $\vec{k}$-multi-slice is the set of vectors $x\in [m]^n$ in which each symbol $i\in [m]$ appears precisely…

The K-theory of a functor may be viewed as a relative version of the K-theory of a ring. In the case of a Galois extension of a number field F/L with rings of integers A/B respectively, this K-theory of the "norm functor" is an extension of…

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…

The approximate degree of a Boolean function f is the least degree of a real polynomial that approximates f pointwise to error at most 1/3. Approximate degree is known to be a lower bound on quantum query complexity. We resolve or nearly…

There are many families of functions on partitions, such as the shifted symmetric functions, for which the corresponding q-brackets are quasimodular forms. We extend these families so that the corresponding q-brackets are quasimodular for a…

We study properties of arithmetic sets coming from multiplicative number theory and obtain applications in the theory of uniform distribution and ergodic theory. Our main theorem is a generalization of K\'atai's orthogonality criterion.…

We consider the problem of computing the partition function $\sum_x e^{f(x)}$, where $f: \{-1, 1\}^n \longrightarrow {\Bbb R}$ is a quadratic or cubic polynomial on the Boolean cube $\{-1, 1\}^n$. In the case of a quadratic polynomial $f$,…

Let $f$ be a holomorphic function on the unit disc, and $(S_{n_{k}})$ be a subsequence of its Taylor polynomials about $0$. It is shown that the nontangential limit of $f$ and lim$_{k\rightarrow \infty }S_{n_{k}}$ agree at almost all points…

Let $F$ be a quadratic APN function of $n$ variables. The associated Boolean function $\gamma_F$ in $2n$ variables ($\gamma_F(a,b)=1$ if $a\neq{\bf 0}$ and equation $F(x)+F(x+a)=b$ has solutions) has the form $\gamma_F(a,b) = \Phi_F(a)…

The classical hypercontractive inequality for the noise operator on the discrete cube plays a crucial role in many of the fundamental results in the Analysis of Boolean functions, such as the KKL (Kahn-Kalai-Linial) theorem, Friedgut's…

In this paper we prove a basic theorem which says that if f : F_p^n -> [0,1] has the property that ||f^||_(1/3) is not too ``large''(actually, it also holds for quasinorms 1/2-\delta in place of 1/3), and E(f) = p^{-n} sum_m f(m) is not too…

We study the $n$-variable Boolean functions which keep their algebraic degree unchanged when they are restricted to any (affine) hyperplane, or more generally to any affine space of a given co-dimension $k$. For cryptographic applications…

In some applications, one is interested in reconstructing a function $f$ from its Fourier series coefficients. The problem is that the Fourier series is slowly convergent if the function is non-periodic, or is non-smooth. In this paper, we…
