Influential coalitions for Boolean Functions

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We improve results of Kahn, Kalai, and Linial from the late 80s on the existence of influential large coalitions for Boolean functions, and we give counterexamples to conjectures (of Benny Chor and others) also from the late 80s, by exhibiting functions for which the influences of large coalitions are unexpectedly small relative to the expectations of the functions. The large gaps between the new upper and lower bounds leave a lot of room for further study.
