High-entropy dual functions over finite fields and locally decodable codes

open access: yesForum of Mathematics, Sigma, 2021
We show that for infinitely many primes p there exist dual functions of order k over ${\mathbb{F}}_p^n$ that cannot be approximated in $L_\infty $-distance by polynomial phase functions of degree $k-1$. This answers in the negative a natural finite-field

New lower bounds for van der Waerden numbers

open access: yesForum of Mathematics, Pi, 2022
We show that there is a red-blue colouring of $[N]$ with no blue 3-term arithmetic progression and no red arithmetic progression of length $e^{C(\log N)^{3/4}(\log \log N)^{1/4}}$.

A correspondence principle for the Gowers norms [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Logic and Analysis, 2009
The Furstenberg Correspondence shows that certain "local behavior" of dynamical system is equivalent to the behavior of sufficiently large finite systems. The Gowers uniformity norms, however, are not local in the relevant sense.

Bounds for sets with no polynomial progressions

open access: yesForum of Mathematics, Pi, 2020
Let $P_1,\dots ,P_m\in \mathbb{Z} [y]$ be polynomials with distinct degrees, each having zero constant term. We show that any subset A of $\{1,\dots ,N\}$ with no nontrivial progressions of the form $x,x+P_1(y),\dots ,x+P_m(y)$ has size $|A|\ll N/(\log ...

A DISTRIBUTION ON TRIPLES WITH MAXIMUM ENTROPY MARGINAL

open access: yesForum of Mathematics, Sigma, 2019
We construct an $S_{3}$-symmetric probability distribution on $\{(a,b,c)\in \mathbb{Z}_{{\geqslant}0}^{3}\,:\,a+b+c=n\}$ such that its marginal achieves the maximum entropy among all probability distributions on $\{0,1,\ldots ,n\}$ with mean $n/3 ...
