What the math gives to ML

The paper supplies dimension-free Bohnenblust–Hille bounds converting the supremum of a degree-d polynomial on the complex torus into an ℓp norm of its coefficients, with the sharp exponent p=2d/(d+1). This suggests a concrete regularizer for polynomial or tensorized neural layers: control the function uniformly on normalized phase inputs while explicitly penalizing the coefficient quasi-norm that the inequality identifies as the correct dimension-independent measure. The most credible transfer is to degree-2 or degree-3 polynomial layers, where the coefficient penalty is cheap enough to compare against ordinary Frobenius or ℓ1 regularization and test whether it improves parameter efficiency and stability as input dimension grows.

Bohnenblust–Hille coefficient regularization

Replace ordinary coefficient decay in a degree-d polynomial neural layer with the Bohnenblust–Hille coefficient quasi-norm, whose exponent p=2d/(d+1) is dimension-independent and strictly below 2 for d>1. Combine this penalty with a sampled torus supremum penalty so the layer is constrained both in its realized function amplitude and in the coefficient geometry predicted by the inequality.
