Abstract

Let (Formula presented.), (Formula presented.), be the noise operator acting on functions on the boolean cube (Formula presented.). Let f be a distribution on (Formula presented.) and let (Formula presented.). We prove tight Mrs. Gerber-type results for the second Rényi entropy of (Formula presented.) which take into account the value of the (Formula presented.) Rényi entropy of f. For a general function f on (Formula presented.) we prove tight hypercontractive inequalities for the (Formula presented.) norm of (Formula presented.) which take into account the ratio between (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.) norms of f.
