The 21st century may find teething consigned to the shelf along with miasma, hum...

We examine the power of Boolean functions with low L 1 norms in several settings. In large part of the recent literature, the degree of a polynomial which represents a Boolean function in some way was chosen to be the measure of the complexity of the Boolean function (see, e. have high degree, but small L 1 norms. So, in conjunction with communication complexity, instead of the degree, the L 1 ...

We provide another proof of the Sipser{Lautemann Theorem by which BPP MA (PH). The current proof is based on strong results regarding the ampliication of BPP, due to Zuck-erman. Given these results, the current proof is even simpler than previous ones. Furthermore, extending the proof leads to two results regarding MA: MA ZPP NP (which seems to be new), and that two-sided error MA equals MA. Fi...
