Noise Stability on the Hypercube: Order 7/8
Abstract
For a balanced Boolean function f on the discrete hypercube, we study the α-stability 𝔼[(Tρf)α], where Tρ is the Boolean noise operator and 0<α<1. Using the asymmetric Hellinger kernel estimates recently established by OpenAI, we prove that dictators minimize the 7/8-stability in every dimension and at every correlation 0≤ρ≤1. At interior correlations they are the only minimizers. As a consequence, dictators minimize the α-stability for every 7/8≤α<1, maximize the α-stability for every 1<α<2, and maximize the one-sided Shannon entropy stability 𝔼[Tρflog Tρf]. This resolves a conjecture of Li and Médard and strengthens the Courtade--Kumar conjecture in the balanced setting.
