Approximate polymorphisms
Gilad Chase, Yuval Filmus, Dor Minzer, Elchanan Mossel, Nitin Saurabh · 2022
For a function g∶{0,1}m→{0,1}, a function f∶ {0,1}n→{0,1} is called a g-polymorphism if their actions commute: f(g(row1(Z)),…,g(rown(Z))) = g(f(col1(Z)),…,f(colm(Z))) for all Z∈{0,1}n× m. The function f is called an approximate g-polymorphism if this equality holds with probability close to 1, when Z is sampled uniformly. A pair of functions f0,f1∶ {0,1}n → {0,1} are called a skew g-polymorphism if f0(g(row1(Z)),…,g(rown(Z))) = g(f1(col1(Z)),…,f1(colm(Z))) for all Z∈{0,1}n× m.
