Remarks on the Discrete CubeProbability, Geometry, and Computation in High Dimensions Boot Camp (Simons Institute, Fall 2020)2020-08-19
Provides a self-contained proof that Var(f) ≤ Σi E[(Di f)^2] with optimal constant 1 by building an interpolation by continuous-time random walk (independent…

Remarks on the Discrete CubeProbability, Geometry, and Computation in High Dimensions Boot Camp (Simons Institute, Fall 2020)2020-08-19
Proves the Poincaré inequality on the discrete cube using an explicit semi-group Pt (a product formula with biased Bernoullis), computes D_t Pt = ΔPt and…

Remarks on the Discrete CubeProbability, Geometry, and Computation in High Dimensions Boot Camp (Simons Institute, Fall 2020)2020-08-19
Shows the naive Gaussian→cube replacement fails: Talagrand’s L∞ counterexample forces a different formulation. Proves a precise linear→nonlinear principle on…

Remarks on the Discrete CubeProbability, Geometry, and Computation in High Dimensions Boot Camp (Simons Institute, Fall 2020)2020-08-19
Boolean functions on the discrete cube beat the usual Poincaré bound by two mechanisms: replace L2 by an L1 Poincaré inequality to remove a square, and exploit…
