Abstract

Let ξ\xi be the standard normal random vector in Rk\mathbb{R}^{k}. Under some mild growth and smoothness assumptions on any increasing P,Q:[0,)[0,)P, Q : [0, \infty) \mapsto [0, \infty) we show (P,Q)(P,Q) complex hypercontractivity Q1(EQ(Tzf(ξ)))P1(EP(f(ξ))) Q^{-1}(\mathbb{E} Q(|T_{z}f(\xi)|))\leq P^{-1}(\mathbb{E}P(|f(\xi)|)) holds for all polynomials f:RkCf:\mathbb{R}^{k} \mapsto \mathbb{C}, where TzT_{z} is the hermite semigroup at complex parameter z,z1z, |z|\leq 1, if and only if \begin{align*} \left|\frac{tP''(t)}{P'(t)}-z^{2}\frac{tQ''(t)}{Q'(t)}+z^{2}-1\right|\leq \frac{tP''(t)}{P'(t)}-|z|^{2}\frac{tQ''(t)}{Q'(t)}+1-|z|^{2} \end{align*} holds for all t>0t>0 provided that F>0F''>0, and F/FF'/F'' is concave, where F=QP1F = Q\circ P^{-1}. This extends Hariya's result from real to complex parameter zz. Several old and new applications are presented for different choices of PP and QQ. The proof uses heat semigroup arguments, where we find a certain map C(s)C(s), which interpolates the inequality at the endpoints. The map C(s)C(s) itself is composed of four heat flows running together at different times.
