    On the Number of ABC Solutions with Restricted Radical Sizes

    Full text link
    We consider a variant of the ABC Conjecture, attempting to count the number of solutions to A+B+C=0A+B+C=0, in relatively prime integers A,B,CA,B,C each of absolute value less than NN with r(A)<Aa,r(B)<Bb,r(C)<Cc.r(A)<|A|^a, r(B)<|B|^b, r(C)<|C|^c. The ABC Conjecture is equivalent to the statement that for a+b+c<1a+b+c<1, the number of solutions is bounded independently of NN. If a+b+c1a+b+c \geq 1, it is conjectured that the number of solutions is asymptotically Na+b+c1±ϵ.N^{a+b+c-1 \pm \epsilon}. We prove this conjecture as long as $a+b+c \geq 2.

    The Average Sensitivity of an Intersection of Half Spaces

    We prove new bounds on the average sensitivity of the indicator function of an intersection of kk halfspaces. In particular, we prove the optimal bound of O(nlog(k))O(\sqrt{n\log(k)}). This generalizes a result of Nazarov, who proved the analogous result in the Gaussian case, and improves upon a result of Harsha, Klivans and Meka. Furthermore, our result has implications for the runtime required to learn intersections of halfspaces

    A Polylogarithmic PRG for Degree 22 Threshold Functions in the Gaussian Setting

    Get PDF
    We devise a new pseudorandom generator against degree 2 polynomial threshold functions in the Gaussian setting. We manage to achieve ϵ\epsilon error with seed length polylogarithmic in ϵ\epsilon and the dimension, and exponential improvement over previous constructions

    Get PDF
    We develop a pseudorandom generator that fools degree-dd polynomial threshold functions in nn variables with respect to the Gaussian distribution and has seed length Oc,d(log(n)ϵc)O_{c,d}(\log(n) \epsilon^{-c})
