对称群中共轭不变集的等周不等式

组合数学 2014-10-30 v3

摘要

我们证明了 SnS_n 中大小为 kk 的共轭不变集的等周不等式,表明这些集的边边界必然远大于其他一些大小为 kk 的集(前提是 kk 较小)。具体而言,设 TnT_n 表示由所有对换生成的 SnS_n 上的 Cayley 图。我们证明,如果 ASnA \subset S_n 是一个满足 A=pn!n!/2|A| = pn! \leq n!/2 的共轭不变集,那么 AATnT_n 中的边边界大小至少为 clog2(1p)log2log2(2p)nA,c \cdot \frac {\log_2 (\tfrac 1{p})}{\log_2 \log_2 (\tfrac 2{p})}\cdot n \cdot |A|, 其中 cc 是一个绝对常数。(当 p=Θ(1/s!)p = \Theta(1/s!)s{1,2,...,n}s \in \{1,2,...,n\} 时,该结果在绝对常数因子意义下是紧的。)由此可知,如果 p=nΘ(1)p = n^{-\Theta(1)},那么测度为 pp 的共轭不变集的边边界必然比所有测度为 pp 的集的最小边边界大 Ω(logn/loglogn)\Omega(\log n / \log \log n) 倍。

备注

20 pages. We have added an Appendix containing a proof of (2), which in the previous version was left as an exercise for the reader. We have also added a discussion of what happens for subsets of $S_n$ which are invariant under conjugation by some transitive subgroup of $S_n$. In addition, some minor typos have been corrected
