The Courtade-Kumar conjecture posits that dictatorship functions maximize the mutual information between the function's output and a noisy version of its input over the Boolean hypercube. We present two significant advancements related to…

Suppose $X$ is a uniformly distributed $n$-dimensional binary vector and $Y$ is obtained by passing $X$ through a binary symmetric channel with crossover probability $\alpha$. A recent conjecture by Courtade and Kumar postulates that…

Given a convex function $\Phi:[0,1]\to\mathbb{R}$, the $\Phi$-stability of a Boolean function $f$ is defined as $\mathbb{E}[\Phi(T_{\rho}f(\mathbf{X}))]$, where $\mathbf{X}$ is a random vector uniformly distributed on the discrete cube…

We prove the Courtade-Kumar conjecture, for several classes of n-dimensional Boolean functions, for all $n \geq 2$ and for all values of the error probability of the binary symmetric channel, $0 \leq p \leq 1/2$. This conjecture states that…

We prove the Courtade-Kumar conjecture, which states that the mutual information between any Boolean function of an $n$-dimensional vector of independent and identically distributed inputs to a memoryless binary symmetric channel and the…

We prove the Courtade-Kumar conjecture, for certain classes of $n$-dimensional Boolean functions, $\forall n\geq 2$ and for all values of the error probability of the binary symmetric channel, $\forall 0 \leq p \leq \frac{1}{2}$. Let…

We prove the "Most informative boolean function" conjecture of Courtade and Kumar for high noise $\epsilon \ge 1/2 - \delta$, for some absolute constant $\delta > 0$. Namely, if $X$ is uniformly distributed in $\{0,1\}^n$ and $Y$ is…

Suppose $\XX{N}$ is a uniformly distributed $N$-dimensional binary vector and $\YY{N}$ is obtained by passing $\XX{N}$ through a binary symmetric channel with crossover probability $\alpha$. Recently, Courtade and Kumar postulates that…

Let $X^n$ be a uniformly distributed $n$-dimensional binary vector, and $Y^n$ be the result of passing $X^n$ through a binary symmetric channel (BSC) with crossover probability $\alpha$. A recent conjecture postulated by Courtade and Kumar…

Let $(\mathbf X, \mathbf Y)$ denote $n$ independent, identically distributed copies of two arbitrarily correlated Rademacher random variables $(X, Y)$. We prove that the inequality $I(f(\mathbf X); g(\mathbf Y)) \le I(X; Y)$ holds for any…

We introduce a simply stated conjecture regarding the maximum mutual information a Boolean function can reveal about noisy inputs. Specifically, let $X^n$ be i.i.d. Bernoulli(1/2), and let $Y^n$ be the result of passing $X^n$ through a…

Let $T_{\epsilon}$ be the noise operator acting on Boolean functions $f:\{0, 1\}^n\to \{0, 1\}$, where $\epsilon\in[0, 1/2]$ is the noise parameter. Given $\alpha>1$ and fixed mean $\mathbb{E} f$, which Boolean function $f$ has the largest…

In 2013, Courtade and Kumar posed the following problem: Let $\boldsymbol{x} \sim \{\pm 1\}^n$ be uniformly random, and form $\boldsymbol{y} \sim \{\pm 1\}^n$ by negating each bit of $\boldsymbol{x}$ independently with probability $\alpha$.…

Suppose $Y^{n}$ is obtained by observing a uniform Bernoulli random vector $X^{n}$ through a binary symmetric channel. Courtade and Kumar asked how large the mutual information between $Y^{n}$ and a Boolean function $\mathsf{b}(X^{n})$…

Let $0 < \epsilon < 1/2$ be a noise parameter, and let $T_{\epsilon}$ be the noise operator acting on functions on the boolean cube $\{0,1\}^n$. Let $f$ be a nonnegative function on $\{0,1\}^n$. We upper bound the entropy of $T_{\epsilon}…

Suppose that $Y^n$ is obtained by observing a uniform Bernoulli random vector $X^n$ through a binary symmetric channel with crossover probability $\alpha$. The "most informative Boolean function" conjecture postulates that the maximal…

We study the most-informative Boolean function conjecture using a differential equation approach. This leads to a formulation of a functional inequality on finite-dimensional random variables. We also develop a similar inequality in the…

Given a convex function $\Phi:[0,1]\to\mathbb{R}$ and the mean $\mathbb{E}f(\mathbf{X})=a\in[0,1]$, which Boolean function $f$ maximizes the $\Phi$-stability $\mathbb{E}[\Phi(T_{\rho}f(\mathbf{X}))]$ of $f$? Here $\mathbf{X}$ is a random…

Let $T_{\epsilon}$, $0 \le \epsilon \le 1/2$, be the noise operator acting on functions on the boolean cube $\{0,1\}^n$. Let $f$ be a nonnegative function on $\{0,1\}^n$ and let $q \ge 1$. In arXiv:1809.09696 the $\ell_q$ norm of…

The two-functional conjecture says that if a function f analytic and univalent in the unit disk maximizes Re{L} and Re{M} for two continuous linear functionals L and M, L is not equal to cM for any c>0, then f is a rotation of the Koebe…
