Abstract

We prove that for every 3-player (3-prover) game G with value less than one, whose query distribution has the support S = {(1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0), (0, 0, 1)} of Hamming weight one vectors, the value of the nfold parallel repetition G⊗n decays polynomially fast to zero; that is, there is a constant c = c(G) > 0 such that the value of the game G⊗n is at most n-c. Following the recent work of Girish, Holmgren, Mittal, Raz and Zhan (STOC 2022), our result is the missing piece that implies a similar bound for a much more general class of multiplayer games: For every 3-player game G over binary questions and arbitrary answer lengths, with value less than 1, there is a constant c = c(G) > 0 such that the value of the game G⊗n is at most n-c. Our proof technique is new and requires many new ideas. For example, we make use of the Level-k inequalities from Boolean Fourier Analysis, which, to the best of our knowledge, have not been explored in this context prior to our work.
