An Elementary Exposition of Pisier's Inequality

Abstract

Pisier's inequality is central in the study of normed spaces and has important applications in geometry. We provide an elementary proof of this inequality, which avoids some non-constructive steps from previous proofs. Our goal is to make the inequality and its proof more accessible, because we think they will find additional applications. We demonstrate this with a new type of restriction on the Fourier spectrum of bounded functions on the discrete cube.
