Strong Sensitivity Conjecture (`bs(f) ≤ s(f)^2`)

Strong Sensitivity Conjecture, for every Boolean function f : {0,1}^n → {0,1}, bs(f) ≤ s(f)^2.

Mathematical statement

Strong Sensitivity Conjecture, for every Boolean function f : {0,1}^n → {0,1}, bs(f) ≤ s(f)^2.

We call this the strong sensitivity conjecture because the original sensitivity conjecture only asked for a polynomial bound in terms of s(f). Huang's celebrated result (often called the sensitivity theorem) gives a quartic bound, bs(f) ≤ s(f)^4, thereby settling the original conjecture.

Statement artifacts, not proofs

These records expose exact Lean propositions and statement-only wrappers. Defining a proposition does not supply a proof of it. A placeholder-bearing target also contains no proof. Elaboration checks syntax and types; it does not certify that a formalization perfectly captures every nuance of the informal problem.
