We study a quantity called discrete layered entropy, which approximates the Shannon entropy within a logarithmic gap. Compared to the Shannon entropy, the discrete layered entropy is piecewise linear, approximates the expected length of the…

We show improved monotonicity testers for the Boolean hypercube under the $p$-biased measure, as well as over the hypergrid $[m]^n$. Our results are: 1. For any $p\in (0,1)$, for the $p$-biased hypercube we show a non-adaptive tester that…

We establish a precise relationship between spherical harmonics and Fourier basis functions over a hypercube randomly embedded in the sphere. In particular, we give a bound on the expected Boolean noise sensitivity of a randomly rotated…

A Boolean function $f:V \to \{-1,1\}$ on the vertex set of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is locally $p$-stable if for every vertex $v$ the proportion of neighbours $w$ of $v$ with $f(v)=f(w)$ is exactly $p$. This notion was introduced by Gross and…

Building on the recently introduced notion of Boolean entropy, we define the corresponding Boolean Fisher information via a de Bruijn identity. We study the monotonicity of this Fisher information in the Boolean Central Limit Theorem and…

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…

Let $S \subset \Bbb R^n$ be a smooth compact hypersurface with a strictly positive second fundamental form, $E$ be the Fourier extension operator on $S$, and $X$ be a Lebesgue measurable subset of $\Bbb R^n$. If $X$ contains a ball of each…

In this paper we prove the Fourier restriction theorem for $p=2$ on Riemannian symmetric spaces of noncompact type with real rank one which extends the earlier result proved in \cite[Theorem 1.1]{KRS}. This result depends on the weak $L^2$…

Phase-space versions of quantum mechanics -- from Wigner's original distribution to modern discrete-qudit constructions -- represent some states with negative quasi-probabilities. Conventional Shannon and R\'enyi entropies become…

In the present paper we prove a family of tight upper and lower bounds for the Shannon entropy and von Neumann entropy based on the p-norms. This allows us to have an entropy estimate, a criterion for the finiteness of it and a bound on the…

This paper studies convergence to equilibrium for the spatially inhomogeneous linear relaxation Boltzmann equation in Boltzmann entropy and related entropy functionals the $p$-entropies. Villani proved in \cite{V09} entropic hypocoercivity…

We strengthen Han's Fourier entropy-influence inequality $$ H[\widehat{f}] \leq C_{1}I(f) + C_{2}\sum_{i\in [n]}I_{i}(f)\ln\frac{1}{I_{i}(f)} $$ originally proved for $\{-1,1\}$-valued Boolean functions with $C_{1}=3+2\ln 2$ and $C_{2}=1$.…

We consider the entropy of sums of independent discrete random variables, in analogy with Shannon's Entropy Power Inequality, where equality holds for normals. In our case, infinite divisibility suggests that equality should hold for…

We investigate the R\'enyi entropy of independent sums of integer valued random variables through Fourier theoretic means, and give sharp comparisons between the variance and the R\'enyi entropy, for Poisson-Bernoulli variables. As…

Using the Euclidean path integral approach with functional methods, we discuss the $(g_{0} \phi^{p})_{d}$ self-interacting scalar field theory, in the strong-coupling regime. We assume the presence of macroscopic boundaries confining the…

We derive a lower bound for the Wehrl entropy in the setting of SU(1,1). For asymptotically high values of the quantum number k, this bound coincides with the analogue of the Lieb-Wehrl conjecture for SU(1,1) coherent states. The bound on…

This paper considers the entropy of the sum of (possibly dependent and non-identically distributed) Bernoulli random variables. Upper bounds on the error that follows from an approximation of this entropy by the entropy of a Poisson random…

We study the problem of estimating a monotone function $f:\{0,1\}^d\to[0,1]$ from noisy observations at uniformly random vertices of the Boolean hypercube. As a measure of complexity for the target~$f$, we use the total $L^1$-influence…

We study the complexity of learning and approximation of self-bounding functions over the uniform distribution on the Boolean hypercube ${0,1}^n$. Informally, a function $f:{0,1}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is self-bounding if for every $x…

We give a structure theorem for Boolean functions on the $p$-biased hypercube which are $\epsilon$-close to degree $d$ in $L_2$, showing that they are close to sparse juntas. Our structure theorem implies that such functions are…
