Hypercontractivity: definition L p -norms of random variables: ( f(x) Lp(µ) f(x) p µ(dx) U p (E[ U p ]) 1 p ) 1 p Let P XY joint distribution. Define T Y X stochastic (Markov) averaging operator T Y X f(x) E[f(Y ) X = x] = T f p f p by Jensen s. Yury Polyanskiy Hypercontractivity in Hamming space 2

Hypercontractivity: definition L p -norms of random variables: ( f(x) Lp(µ) f(x) p µ(dx) U p (E[ U p ]) 1 p ) 1 p Let P XY joint distribution. Define T Y X stochastic (Markov) averaging operator T Y X f(x) E[f(Y ) X = x] = T f p f p by Jensen s. T is hypercontractive if T p q = 1 for p < q: T f q f p, T p q sup f T f q f p T f gains integrability! (by smoothing peaks) T is HC for some p T is HC for all p.

What is HC good for? Canonical example: Estimate probability of a rectangle P[X A, Y B], where P[X A] P[Y B] = θ 1. Spectral gap (expanders, etc): 1 = σ 1 (T ) > σ 2 (T ) > P[X A, Y B] θ 2 + σ 2 θ(1 θ) σ 2 θ Hypercontractivity: P[X A, Y B] = (1 A, T 1 B ) 1 A q T 1 B q 1 A q 1 B p = θ 1 1 q + 1 p = θ 1+ɛ σ 2 θ (!) Note: Used 0/1 nature of indicator functions. Yury Polyanskiy Hypercontractivity in Hamming space 4
