The hypercontractive inequality is a fundamental result in analysis, with many applications throughout discrete mathematics, theoretical computer science, combinatorics and more. So far, variants of this inequality have been proved mainly for product spaces, which raises the question of whether analogous results hold over non-product domains. We consider the symmetric group, $S_n$, one of the most basic non-product domains, and establish hypercontractive inequalities on it. Our inequalities are most effective for the class of emph{global functions} on $S_n$, which are functions whose $2$-norm remains small when restricting $O(1)$ coordinates of the input, and assert that low-degree, global functions have small $q$-norms, for $q>2$. As applications, we show: 1. An analog of the level-$d$ inequality on the hypercube, asserting that the mass of a global function on low-degrees is very small. We also show how to use this inequality to bound the size of global, product-free sets in the alternating group $A_n$. 2. Isoperimetric inequalities on the transposition Cayley graph of $S_n$ for global functions, that are analogous to the KKL theorem and to the small-set expansion property in the Boolean hypercube. 3. Hypercontractive inequalities on the multi-slice, and stabili
In this paper, we study the emph{type graph}, namely a bipartite graph induced by a joint type. We investigate the maximum edge density of induced bipartite subgraphs of this graph having a number of vertices on each side on an exponential scale. Thi
For an integer $ellgeqslant 2$, the $ell$-component connectivity of a graph $G$, denoted by $kappa_{ell}(G)$, is the minimum number of vertices whose removal from $G$ results in a disconnected graph with at least $ell$ components or a graph with fewe
Using the standard Coxeter presentation for the symmetric group $S_n$, two reduced expressions for the same group element are said to be commutation equivalent if we can obtain one expression from the other by applying a finite sequence of commutatio
Binary Parseval frames share many structural properties with real and complex ones. On the other hand, there are subtle differences, for example that the Gramian of a binary Parseval frame is characterized as a symmetric idempotent whose range contai
The objective of the well-known Towers of Hanoi puzzle is to move a set of disks one at a time from one of a set of pegs to another, while keeping the disks sorted on each peg. We propose an adversarial variation in which the first player forbids a s
