Itai Benjamini and Jeremie Brieussel: Noise Sensitivity Meets Group Theory
The final version of my ICM 2018 paper Three puzzles on mathematics computation and games has been available for some time. (This proceedings’ version, unlike the arXived version has a full list of references.) In this post I would like to … Continue reading

Second third of my ICM 2018 paper – Three Puzzles on Mathematics, Computation and Games. Corrections and comments welcome
Update: Here is a combined version of all three parts: Three puzzles on mathematics computations and games. Thanks for the remarks and corrections. More corrections and comments welcome. Dear all, here is the draft of the second third of my paper … Continue reading
Influence, Threshold, and Noise
My dear friend Itai Benjamini told me that he won’t be able to make it to my Tuesday talk on influence, threshold, and noise, and asked if I already have the slides. So it occurred to me that perhaps … Continue reading
BosonSampling and (BKS) Noise Sensitivity
Update (Nov 2014): Noise sensitivity of BosonSampling and computational complexity of noisy BosonSampling are studied in this paper by Guy Kindler and me. Some of my predictions from this post turned out to be false. In particular the noisy BosonSampling … Continue reading

Noise Stability and Threshold Circuits
The purpose of this post is to describe an old conjecture (or guesses, see this post) by Itai Benjamini, Oded Schramm and myself (taken from this paper) on noise stability of threshold functions. I will start by formulating the conjectures and … Continue reading
Noise Sensitivity Lecture and Tales
A lecture about Noise sensitivity Several of my recent research projects are related to noise, and noise was also a topic of a recent somewhat philosophical post. My oldest and perhaps most respectable noise-related project was the work with Itai Benjamini and Oded … Continue reading
