Sensitivity and Hamming graphs

Sara Asensio, Yuval Filmus, Ignacio García-Marco, Kolja Knauer

For any $m3$ we show that the Hamming graph $H(n,m)$ admits an imbalanced partition into m sets, each inducing a subgraph of low maximum degree. This improves previous results by Tandya and by Potechin and Tsang, and disproves the Strong $m$-ary Sensitivity Conjecture of Asensio, García-Marco, and Knauer. On the other hand, we prove their weaker $m$-ary Sensitivity Conjecture by showing that the sensitivity of any $m$-ary function is bounded from below by a polynomial expression in its degree.
