Abstract:For 1≤p≤q<∞ and n in {3·2^k, 2^k} with k≥1, we prove that the Poisson-like semigroup P_t on Z_n, associated with the word length ψ_n(k)=min(k,n-k), is hypercontractive from L_p to L_q if and only if t≥(1/2)log((q-1)/(p-1)). We establish sharp Log-Sobolev inequalities with the optimal constant 2, by performing a KKT analysis, and lifting from the base cases Z₆ and Z₄ via a Cooley-Tukey n to 2n comparison of Dirichlet forms. The general case for arbitrary n remains open.
