Sum packing and Griggs' theorem on sums of residues [pdf], M. Boyer (Aug. 2004)

This note first defines Sperner systems and presents a proof of Sperner's theorem based on symmetric chains using an approach similar to Griggs' in his article on the distributions of sums or residues modulo q. Then a detailed proof of Grigg's theorem is presented.
On Mermin's n-player parity game [pdf], Aug 2004

Author: M. Boyer
Comment: Starting from Mermin's 1990 PRL article and trying to be as faithful as possible to his approach, these self-contained notes aim at giving Mermin's article a meaning relevant to pseudo-telepathy games and end with recent results obtained by Brassard, Broadbent and Tapp (quant-ph/0408052).
