We define the Augmentation property for binary matrices with respect to different rank functions. A matrix $A$ has the Augmentation property for a given rank function, if for any subset of column vectors $x_1,...,x_t$ for for which the rank of $A$ does not increase when augmented separately with each of the vectors $x_i$, $1leq i leq t$, it also holds that the rank does not increase when augmenting $A$ with all vectors $x_1,...,x_t$ simultaneously. This property holds trivially for the usual linear rank over the reals, but as we show, things change significantly when considering the binary and boolean rank of a matrix. We prove a necessary and sufficient condition for this property to hold under the binary and boolean rank of binary matrices. Namely, a matrix has the Augmentation property for these rank functions if and only if it has a unique base that spans all other bases of the matrix with respect to the given rank function. For the binary rank, we also present a concrete characterization of a family of matrices that has the Augmentation property. This characterization is based on the possible types of linear dependencies between rows of $V$, in optimal binary decompositions of the matrix as $A=Ucdot V$. Furthermore, we use the Augmentation property to construct simple families of matrices, for which there is a gap between their real and binary rank and between their real and boolean rank.

We present algorithms for testing if a $(0,1)$-matrix $M$ has Boolean/binary rank at most $d$, or is $epsilon$-far from Boolean/binary rank $d$ (i.e., at least an $epsilon$-fraction of the entries in $M$ must be modified so that it has rank at most $d$). The query complexity of our testing algorithm for the Boolean rank is $tilde{O}left(d^4/ epsilon^6right)$. For the binary rank we present a testing algorithm whose query complexity is $O(2^{2d}/epsilon)$. Both algorithms are $1$-sided error algorithms that always accept $M$ if it has Boolean/binary rank at most $d$, and reject with probability at least $2/3$ if $M$ is $epsilon$-far from Boolean/binary rank $d$.
Let $f: {0,1}^n to {0, 1}$ be a boolean function, and let $f_land (x, y) = f(x land y)$ denote the AND-function of $f$, where $x land y$ denotes bit-wise AND. We study the deterministic communication complexity of $f_land$ and show that, up to a $log n$ factor, it is bounded by a polynomial in the logarithm of the real rank of the communication matrix of $f_land$. This comes within a $log n$ factor of establishing the log-rank conjecturefor AND-functions with no assumptions on $f$. Our result stands in contrast with previous results on special cases of the log-rank conjecture, which needed significant restrictions on $f$ such as monotonicity or low $mathbb{F}_2$-degree. Our techniques can also be used to prove (within a $log n$ factor) a lifting theorem for AND-functions, stating that the deterministic communication complexity of $f_land$ is polynomially-related to the AND-decision tree complexity of $f$. The results rely on a new structural result regarding boolean functions $f:{0, 1}^n to {0, 1}$ with a sparse polynomial representation, which may be of independent interest. We show that if the polynomial computing $f$ has few monomials then the set system of the monomials has a small hitting set, of size poly-logarithmic in its sparsity. We also establish extensions of this result to multi-linear polynomials $f:{0,1}^n to mathbb{R}$ with a larger range.
Obtaining superlinear lower bounds on tensor rank is a major open problem in complexity theory. In this paper we propose a generalization of the approach used by Strassen in the proof of his 3n/2 border rank lower bound. Our approach revolves around a problem on commuting matrices: Given matrices Z_1,...,Z_p of size n and an integer r>n, are there commuting matrices Z_1,...,Z_p of size r such that every Z_k is embedded as a submatrix in the top-left corner of Z_k? As one of our main results, we show that this question always has a positive answer for r larger than rank(T)+n, where T denotes the tensor with slices Z_1,..,Z_p. Taking the contrapositive, if one can show for some specific matrices Z_1,...,Z_p and a specific integer r that this question has a negative answer, this yields the lower bound rank(T) > r-n. There is a little bit of slack in the above rank(T)+n bound, but we also provide a number of exact characterizations of tensor rank and symmetric rank, for ordinary and symmetric tensors, over the fields of real and complex numbers. Each of these characterizations points to a corresponding variation on the above approach. In order to explain how Strassens theorem fits within this framework we also provide a self-contained proof of his lower bound.
The square root rank of a nonnegative matrix $A$ is the minimum rank of a matrix $B$ such that $A=B circ B$, where $circ$ denotes entrywise product. We show that the square root rank of the slack matrix of the correlation polytope is exponential. Our main technique is a way to lower bound the rank of certain matrices under arbitrary sign changes of the entries using properties of the roots of polynomials in number fields. The square root rank is an upper bound on the positive semidefinite rank of a matrix, and corresponds the special case where all matrices in the factorization are rank-one.
We initiate the study of Boolean function analysis on high-dimensional expanders. We give a random-walk based definition of high dimensional expansion, which coincides with the earlier definition in terms of two-sided link expanders. Using this definition, we describe an analogue of the Fourier expansion and the Fourier levels of the Boolean hypercube for simplicial complexes. Our analogue is a decomposition into approximate eigenspaces of random walks associated with the simplicial complexes. We then use this decomposition to extend the Friedgut-Kalai-Naor theorem to high-dimensional expanders. Our results demonstrate that a high-dimensional expander can sometimes serve as a sparse model for the Boolean slice or hypercube, and quite possibly additional results from Boolean function analysis can be carried over to this sparse model. Therefore, this model can be viewed as a derandomization of the Boolean slice, containing only $|X(k-1)|=O(n)$ points in contrast to $binom{n}{k}$ points in the $(k)$-slice (which consists of all $n$-bit strings with exactly $k$ ones). Our random-walk definition and the decomposition has the additional advantage that they extend to the more general setting of posets, which include both high-dimensional expanders and the Grassmann poset, which appears in recent works on the unique games conjecture.
