On the sum-of-squares degree of symmetric quadratic functions

We study how well functions over the boolean hypercube of the form f_k(x)=(lxl-k)(lxl-k-1) can be approximated by sums of squares of low-degree polynomials, obtaining good bounds for the case of approximation in l_{infinity}-norm as well as in l_1-norm. We describe three complexity-theoretic applica...
