Question about two matrices: Hadamard v. "the magical one" in the proof of the sensitivity conjecture
The recent and incredibly slick proof of the sensitivity conjecture relies on the explicit* construction of a matrix $A_n\in\{-1,0,1\}^{2^n\times 2^n}$, defined recursively as follows:
$$A_1 = \begin{...

Minimum number of columns making each row different
I'm curious whether this problem is NP-hard: suppose you are given an arbitrary $m\times n$ 0-1 matrix (each element is either 0 or 1, for the simplicity of the problem), and any pair of rows (i.e. a ...

Rank mod 6 vs rank over the reals
Let $A$ be a boolean matrix (eg with $0,1$ entries). Assume that $A$ has rank $\le r$ both over $\mathbb{F}_2$ and over $\mathbb{F}_3$. Does this imply that $A$ has low rank over the reals? This seems ...

Sparsity of a Boolean function and its Fourier depth [closed]
For a function $f : \{-1,1\}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ one can ask for its $l_0$ norm in the indicator basis i.e the number of vertices on which the function is non-zero. Does this sparsity parameter ...

Canonisation of boolean matrices under row and column permutations
Consider the equivalence relation $\sim$ on boolean matrices $A,B\in\{0,1\}^{m\times n}$ which is defined as follows:
$A\sim B$ :iff there are permutation matrices $P\in\{0,1\}^{n\times n}, Q\in\{0,1\...
