Spectral inequalities, logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and hyper-contractive inequalities are all extensively used in applications of discrete Fourier analysis to learning, hardness of approximation and communication complexity, as well as in the analysis of Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms and in other areas of theoretical computer science. This workshop will focus on such inequalities in discrete settings and their applications.
