Sharp Rademacher second-moment inequality

ID: sharp-rademacher-second-moment-inequality

For and , the even-function spectral gap on a hypercube gives . A norming functional supplied by the Hahn-Banach theorem and convexity of the norm gives , because . Hence the Dirichlet form is at most , proving the inequality. Two equal scalar coefficients attain equality, so the constant is sharp.
