Computing the partition function of a polynomial on the Boolean cube

For a polynomial f: {-1, 1}^n --> C, we define the partition function as the average of e^{lambda f(x)} over all points x in {-1, 1}^n, where lambda in C is a parameter. We present a quasi-polynomial algorithm, which, given such f, lambda and epsilon >0 approximates the partition function within a relative error of epsilon in N^{O(ln n -ln epsilon)} time provided |lambda| < 1/(2 L sqrt{deg f}), where L=L(f) is a parameter bounding the Lipschitz constant of f from above and N is the number of monomials in f. As a corollary, we obtain a quasi-polynomial algorithm, which, given such an f with coefficients +1 and -1 and such that every variable enters not more than 4 monomials, approximates the maximum of f on {-1, 1}^n within a factor of O(sqrt{deg f}/delta), provided the maximum is N delta for some 0< delta <1. If every variable enters not more than k monomials for some fixed k > 4, we are able to establish a similar result when delta > (k-1)/k.Comment: The final version of this paper is due to be published in the collection of papers "A Journey through Discrete Mathematics.

Three-body Thomas-Ehrman shifts of analog states of 17^{17}Ne and 17^{17}N

The lowest-lying states of the Borromean nucleus $^{17}$Ne ($^{15}$O+$p$ + $p$) and its mirror nucleus $^{17}$N ($^{15}$N+$n$ + $n$) are compared by using the hyperspheric adiabatic expansion. Three-body resonances are computed by use of the complex scaling method. The measured size of $^{15}$O and the low-lying resonances of $^{16}$F ($^{15}$O+$p$) are first used as constraints to determine both central and spin-dependent two-body interactions. The interaction obtained reproduces relatively accurately both experimental three-body spectra. The Thomas-Ehrman shifts, involving excitation energy differences, are computed and found to be less than 3% of the total Coulomb energy shift for all states.Comment: 9 pages, 3 postscript figures, revtex style.
