Logarithmic Sobolev inequality implies hypercontractivity ($\Vert P_{t}f{\Vert }_{1+e^{4t/c_{\mathrm{LS}}}}\le \Vert f{\Vert }_2$)

Differentiate $\log \Vert u{\Vert }_q$ with $u=P_{t}f$ and a changing exponent. The derivative is $q^{\prime }\mathrm{Ent}(u^q)/(q^2\int u^q)-\mathcal{E}(u^{q-1},u)/\int u^q$. Apply the logarithmic Sobolev inequality to $u^{q/2}$ and the power inequality for symmetric Markov energies. Choosing $q^{\prime }=4(q-1)/c_{\mathrm{LS}}$ makes the upper bound zero.
