In 1994, Talagrand showed a generalization of the celebrated KKL theorem. In this work, we prove that the converse of this generalization also holds. Namely, for any sequence of numbers $0<a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n\le 1$ such that $\sum_{j=1}^n…
Laurent polynomials related to the Hahn-Exton $q$-Bessel function, which are $q$-analogues of the Lommel polynomials, have been introduced by Koelink and Swarttouw. The explicit strong moment functional with respect to which the Laurent…
A Boolean function $f:\{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}$ is said to be noise sensitive if inserting a small random error in its argument makes the value of the function almost unpredictable. Benjamini, Kalai and Schramm showed that if the sum of…
Exhibiting an explicit Boolean function with a large high-order nonlinearity is an important problem in cryptography, coding theory, and computational complexity. We prove lower bounds on the second-order, third-order, and higher-order…
Orthogonal polynomials for a family of weight functions on $[-1,1]^2$, $$ \CW_{\a,\b,\g}(x,y) = |x+y|^{2\a+1} |x-y|^{2\b+1} (1-x^2)^\g(1-y^2)^{\g}, $$ are studied and shown to be related to the Koornwinder polynomials defined on the region…
We give tight bounds on the degree $\ell$ homogenous parts $f_\ell$ of a bounded function $f$ on the cube. We show that if $f: \{\pm 1\}^n \rightarrow [-1,1]$ has degree $d$, then $\| f_\ell \|_\infty$ is bounded by $d^\ell/\ell!$, and $\|…
Many special functions are solutions of first order linear systems $y_n'(x)=a_n(x)y_n(x)+d_n(x)y_{n-1}(x)$, $y_{n-1}'(x)=b_n(x)y_{n-1}(x)+e_{n}(x)y_n(x)$. We obtain bounds for the ratios $y_n(x)/y_{n-1}(x)$ and the logarithmic derivatives…
Let A be an abelian variety defined over a number field k and let F be a finite Galois extension of k. Let p be a prime number. Then under certain not-too-stringent conditions on A and F we compute explicitly the algebraic part of the…
The problem of testing monotonicity for Boolean functions on the hypergrid, $f:[n]^d \to \{0,1\}$ is a classic topic in property testing. When $n=2$, the domain is the hypercube. For the hypercube case, a breakthrough result of…
We study logarithmically averaged binary correlations of bounded multiplicative functions $g_1$ and $g_2$. A breakthrough on these correlations was made by Tao, who showed that the correlation average is negligibly small whenever $g_1$ or…
Biran and Cornea showed that monotone Lagrangian cobordisms give an equivalence of objects in the Fukaya category. However, there are currently no known non-trivial examples of monotone Lagrangian cobordisms with two ends. We look at an…
Chv\'{a}tal's conjecture in extremal combinatorics asserts that for any decreasing family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of a finite set $S$, there is a largest intersecting subfamily of $\mathcal{F}$ consisting of all members of $\mathcal{F}$…
A Boolean function $f$ on $n$ variables is said to be a bent function if the absolute value of all its Walsh coefficients is $2^{n/2}$. Our main result is a new asymptotic lower bound on the number of Boolean bent functions. It is based on…
We prove the existence of secondary terms of order X^{5/6} in the Davenport-Heilbronn theorems on cubic fields and 3-torsion in class groups of quadratic fields. For cubic fields this confirms a conjecture of Datskovsky-Wright and Roberts.…
Two doubly indexed families of polynomials in several indeterminates are considered. They are related to the falling and rising factorials in a similar way as the potential polynomials (introduced by L. Comtet) are related to the ordinary…
Let $f\in \mathbb{R}[x_1,\ldots, x_k]$, for $k\ge 2$. For any finite sets $A_1,\ldots, A_k\subset \mathbb{R}$, consider the set $$ f(A_1,\ldots, A_k):=\{f(a_1,\ldots, a_k)\mid (a_1,\cdots,a_k)\in A_1\times\cdots \times A_k\}, $$ that is,…
Estimates for initial coefficients of Taylor-Maclaurin series of bi-univalent functions belonging to certain classes defined by subordination are obtained. Our estimates improve upon the earlier known estimates for second and third…
The ring of symmetric functions $\Lambda$, with natural basis given by the Schur functions, arise in many different areas of mathematics. For example, as the cohomology ring of the grassmanian, and as the representation ring of the…
It is shown that functions defined on $\{0,1,...,r-1\}^n$ satisfying certain conditions of bounded differences that guarantee sub-Gaussian tail behavior also satisfy a much stronger ``local'' sub-Gaussian property. For self-bounding and…
We give a proof of Fourier extension conjecture on the paraboloid in all dimensions bigger than 2 that begins with a decomposition suggested in Sawyer [Saw8] of writing a smooth Alpert projection as a sum of pieces whose Fourier extensions…
