In our talk we discuss similar phenomena for real-valued functions $f$ on the Boolean cube $\{-1,1\}^N$. Every such function admits a canonical representation through its Fourier-Walsh expansion $f(x) = \sum_{S\subset \{1,\ldots,N\}}\widehat{f}(S) x^S \,,$ where $x^S = \prod_{k \in S} x_k$. Given a~class $\mathcal{F}$ of functions on $\{-1, 1\}^{N} $, the Boolean radius of $\mathcal{F}$ is defined to be the largest $\rho \geq 0$ such that $\sum_{S}{|\widehat{f}(S)| \rho^{|S|}} \leq \|f\|_{\infty}$ for every $f \in \mathcal{F}$. We give the precise asymptotic behavior of the Boolean radius of several natural classes of functions on Boolean cubes. Compared with the classical complex situation subtle differences as well as striking parallels occur.
