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)^1/2-0(1). We also give new lower bounds on the L ₁ distortion of flat tori, quotients of the discrete hypercube under group actions, and the transportation cost (Earthmover) metric.
