Consider the following two-player communication process to decide a language $L$: The first player holds the entire input $x$ but is polynomially bounded; the second player is computationally unbounded but does not know any part of $x$; their goal is to cooperatively decide whether $x$ belongs to $L$ at small ... more >>>
For a prime $p\geq 3$, a somewhat restricted $3$-AP in $\mathbb{F}_p^n$ is a triplet $(x,x+a,x+2a)$, where $x\in\mathbb{F}_p^n$ and $a\in \{0,1,2\}^n$. We prove a counting lemma for somewhat restricted $3$-APs in dense sets in $\mathbb{F}_p^n$. More precisely, we prove that for all $\alpha>0$, there exists $\beta>0$, such that for sufficiently large ... more >>>
The slice rank method gives exponential bounds for sets with no three-term arithmetic progression in finite vector spaces of odd characteristic and for three-sunflower-free families of subsets of a fixed ground set. We show that for $k\ge4$, every tensor that is nonzero exactly on the $k$-term arithmetic progression relation or ... more >>>
