Abstract

Let Tϵ, 0≤ϵ≤1/2, be the noise operator acting on functions on the boolean cube {0,1}n. Let f be a distribution on {0,1}n and let q>1. We prove tight Mrs. Gerber-type results for the second Rényi entropy of Tϵf which take into account the value of the qth Rényi entropy of f. For a general function f on {0,1}n we prove tight hypercontractive inequalities for the ℓ2 norm of Tϵf which take into account the ratio between ℓq and ℓ1 norms of f.
