    Improved Bounds on Fourier Entropy and Min-Entropy

  • Original language description

    Given a Boolean function f : { -1, l}(n) -&gt; { -1, 1}, define the Fourier distribution to be the distribution on subsets of [n], where each S subset of [n] is sampled with probability (f) over cap (S)(2). The Fourier Entropy-Influence (FEI) conjecture of Friedgut and Kalai [24] seeks to relate two fundamental measures associated with the Fourier distribution: does there exist a universal constant C &gt; 0 such that H((f) over cap (2)) &lt;= C . Inf(f), where H((f) over cap (2)) is the Shannon entropy of the Fourier distribution of f and Inf(f) is the total influence of f? In this paper we present three new contributions towards the FEI conjecture: (i) Our first contribution shows that H((f) over cap (2)) &lt;= 2 . aUC(circle plus) (f), where aUC(circle plus) (f) is the average unambiguous parity-certificate complexity of f . This improves upon several bounds shown by Chakraborty et al. [16]. We further improve this bound for unambiguous DNFs. (ii) We next consider the weaker Fourier Min-entropy-Influence (FMEI) conjecture posed by O&apos;Donnell and others [43, 40] which asks if H-infinity ((f) over cap (2)) &lt;= C . lnf(f), where H-infinity ((f) over cap (2)) is the min-entropy of the Fourier distribution. We show H-infinity ((f) over cap (2)) &lt;= 2 . C-min(circle plus)(f), where C-min(circle plus )(f) is the minimum parity certificate complexity of f. We also show that for all epsilon &gt;= 0, we have H-infinity ((f) over cap (2)) &lt;= 2log(parallel to(f) over cap parallel to(1,epsilon) 1(1 - epsilon)) , where parallel to(f) over cap parallel to(1,epsilon )is the approximate spectral norm of f. As a corollary, we verify the FMEI conjecture for the class of read-k DNFs (for constant k). (iii) Our third contribution is to better understand implications of the FEI conjecture for the structure of polynomials that 1/3-approximate a Boolean function on the Boolean cube. We pose a conjecture: no flat polynomial (whose non-zero Fourier coefficients have the same magnitude) of degree d and sparsity 2(omega(d)) can 1/3-approximate a Boolean function. This conjecture is known to be true assuming FEI and we prove the conjecture unconditionally (i.e., without assuming the FEI conjecture) for a class of polynomials. We discuss an intriguing connection between our conjecture and the constant for the Bohnenblust-Hille inequality, which has been extensively studied in functional analysis.
