Abstract:

We give an answer to the question of Barrington, Beigel and Rudich, asked in 1992, concerning the largest n such that the OR function of n variable can be weakly represented by a quadratic polynomial modulo 6. More specially,we show that no 11-variable quadratic polynomial exists that is congruent to zero modulo 6 in the all-0 input and non-zero modulo 6 anywhere else on the {0,1} input.
