Abstract

Various new nonembeddability results (mainly into L 1) are proved via Fourier analysis. In particular, it is shown that the Edit Distance on {0, 1} d has L 1 distortion (log d) 1/2-o(1) We also give new lower bounds on the L 1 distortion of quotients of the discrete hypercube under group actions, and the transportation cost (Earthmover) metric.
