In 1994, Talagrand showed a generalization of the celebrated KKL theorem. In this work, we prove that the converse of this generalization also holds. Namely, for any sequence of numbers $0<a_1,a_2,ldots,a_nle 1$ such that $sum_{j=1}^n a_j/(1-log a_j)ge C$ for some constant $C>0$, it is possible to find a roughly balanced Boolean function $f$ such that $textrm{Inf}_j[f] < a_j$ for every $1 le j le n$.

The objective of the well-known Towers of Hanoi puzzle is to move a set of disks one at a time from one of a set of pegs to another, while keeping the disks sorted on each peg. We propose an adversarial variation in which the first player forbids a s et of states in the puzzle, and the second player must then convert one randomly-selected state to another without passing through forbidden states. Analyzing this version raises the question of the treewidth of Hanoi graphs. We find this number exactly for three-peg puzzles and provide nearly-tight asymptotic bounds for larger numbers of pegs.
The hypercontractive inequality is a fundamental result in analysis, with many applications throughout discrete mathematics, theoretical computer science, combinatorics and more. So far, variants of this inequality have been proved mainly for product spaces, which raises the question of whether analogous results hold over non-product domains. We consider the symmetric group, $S_n$, one of the most basic non-product domains, and establish hypercontractive inequalities on it. Our inequalities are most effective for the class of emph{global functions} on $S_n$, which are functions whose $2$-norm remains small when restricting $O(1)$ coordinates of the input, and assert that low-degree, global functions have small $q$-norms, for $q>2$. As applications, we show: 1. An analog of the level-$d$ inequality on the hypercube, asserting that the mass of a global function on low-degrees is very small. We also show how to use this inequality to bound the size of global, product-free sets in the alternating group $A_n$. 2. Isoperimetric inequalities on the transposition Cayley graph of $S_n$ for global functions, that are analogous to the KKL theorem and to the small-set expansion property in the Boolean hypercube. 3. Hypercontractive inequalities on the multi-slice, and stabili
Let $P_{n}$ be a set of $n$ points, including the origin, in the unit square $U = [0,1]^2$. We consider the problem of constructing $n$ axis-parallel and mutually disjoint rectangles inside $U$ such that the bottom-left corner of each rectangle coinc ides with a point in $P_{n}$ and the total area covered by the rectangles is maximized cite{ibmpuzzle}, cite{Winkler2007}, cite{Winkler2010a}, cite{Winkler2010b}. The longstanding conjecture has been that at least half of $U$ can be covered when such rectangles are properly placed. In this paper, we give an existential proof of the conjecture.
In this note, we prove a tight lower bound on the joint entropy of $n$ unbiased Bernoulli random variables which are $n/2$-wise independent. For general $k$-wise independence, we give new lower bounds by adapting Navon and Samorodnitskys Fourier proo f of the `LP bound on error correcting codes. This counts as partial progress on a problem asked by Gavinsky and Pudlak.
This is the fifth in a series of articles devoted to showing that a typical covering map of large degree to a fixed, regular graph has its new adjacency eigenvalues within the bound conjectured by Alon for random regular graphs. In this article we use the results of Articles~III and IV in this series to prove that if the base graph is regular, then as the degree, $n$, of the covering map tends to infinity, some new adjacency eigenvalue has absolute value outside the Alon bound with probability bounded by $O(1/n)$. In addition, we give upper and lower bounds on this probability that are tight to within a multiplicative constant times the degree of the covering map. These bounds depend on two positive integers, the emph{algebraic power} (which can also be $+infty$) and the emph{tangle power} of the model of random covering map. We conjecture that the algebraic power of the models we study is always $+infty$, and in Article~VI we prove this when the base graph is regular and emph{Ramanujan}. When the algebraic power of the model is $+infty$, then the results in this article imply stronger results, such as (1) the upper and lower bounds mentioned above are matching to within a multiplicative constant, and (2) with probability smaller than any negative power of the degree, the some new eigenvalue fails to be within the Alon bound only if the covering map contains one of finitely many tangles as a subgraph (and this event has low probability).
