Lipschitz bijections between boolean functions (1812.09215v3)

Abstract: We answer four questions from a paper of Rao and Shinkar on Lipschitz bijections between functions from ${0,1}^n$ to ${0,1}$. (1) We show that there is no $O(1)$-bi-Lipschitz bijection from $\mathrm{Dictator}$ to $\mathrm{XOR}$ such that each output bit depends on $O(1)$ input bits. (2) We give a construction for a mapping from $\mathrm{XOR}$ to $\mathrm{Majority}$ which has average stretch $O(\sqrt{n})$, matching a previously known lower bound. (3) We give a 3-Lipschitz embedding $\phi : {0,1}^n \to {0,1}^{2n+1}$ such that $\mathrm{XOR}(x) = \mathrm{Majority}(\phi(x))$ for all $x \in {0,1}^n$. (4) We show that with high probability there is a $O(1)$-bi-Lipschitz mapping from $\mathrm{Dictator}$ to a uniformly random balanced function.
