    Fooling Gaussian PTFs via Local Hyperconcentration

    Full text link
    We give a pseudorandom generator that fools degree-dd polynomial threshold functions over nn-dimensional Gaussian space with seed length poly(d)β‹…log⁑n\mathrm{poly}(d)\cdot \log n. All previous generators had a seed length with at least a 2d2^d dependence on dd. The key new ingredient is a Local Hyperconcentration Theorem, which shows that every degree-dd Gaussian polynomial is hyperconcentrated almost everywhere at scale dβˆ’O(1)d^{-O(1)}
