Instances For
Prove that our canonical measure matches the combinatorial uniformWeight.

(2,4)-Hypercontractivity Theorem #
Cardinality of a lifted set: |S.image castSucc| = |S|.
Key algebraic inequality: under ρ² ≤ 1/3, the recurrence closes.
The (2,4)-Hypercontractivity Theorem (Bonami–Beckner):
For any Boolean function f : {0,1}ⁿ → ℝ and noise parameter ρ with ρ² ≤ 1/3
(i.e., |ρ| ≤ 1/√3),
𝔼[(T_ρ f)⁴] ≤ (𝔼[f²])²,
or equivalently ‖T_ρ f‖₄ ≤ ‖f‖₂.
Hölder's inequality for p = 4/3 and q = 4.
Contractivity of the noise operator (q = 2 case) #
The L² norm of T_ρ f in Fourier space:
𝔼[(T_ρ f)²] = ∑_S ρ^{2|S|} f̂(S)².
Contractivity: 𝔼[(T_ρ f)²] ≤ 𝔼[f²] for ρ² ≤ 1.
This is the q = 2 case of hypercontractivity.
Combinatorial inequality #
Two-point inequality for even powers #
Moment decomposition for even powers #
For even q, the q-th moment decomposes using avgLast and diffLast.
The noise operator decomposes on (n+1)-cubes for q-th moments.

Real-power formulation #
(p, 2)-Hypercontractivity via Duality #
The (p, 2)-Hypercontractivity Theorem (general duality framework):
Given a (2, q)-hypercontractivity bound and Hölder's inequality for (p, q),
we conclude (𝔼[(T_ρ f)²])^{1/2} ≤ (𝔼[|f|^p])^{1/p}.
The proof:
‖T_ρ f‖₂² = ⟨T_ρ f, T_ρ f⟩ = ⟨f, T_ρ(T_ρ f)⟩by self-adjointness⟨f, T_ρ(T_ρ f)⟩ ≤ ‖f‖_p · ‖T_ρ(T_ρ f)‖_qby Hölder‖T_ρ(T_ρ f)‖_q ≤ ‖T_ρ f‖₂by (2,q)-hypercontractivity- Divide both sides by
‖T_ρ f‖₂.
