Abstract: We consider multilinear Littlewood polynomials, polynomials in n variables in which a specified set of monomials U have pm1 coefficients, and all other coefficients are 0. We provide upper and lower bounds (which are close for U of degree below logn) on the minimum, over polynomials h consistent with U, of the maximum of |h| over pm1 assignments to the variables. (This is a variant of a question posed by Erd"os regarding the maximum on the unit disk of univariate polynomials of given degree with unit coefficients.) We outline connections to the theory of quasi-random graphs and hypergraphs, and to statistical mechanics models. Our methods rely on the analysis of the Gale-Berlekamp game; on the constructive side of the generic chaining method; on a Khintchine-type inequality for polynomials of degree greater than 1; and on Bernstein's approximation theory inequality.
