Friedgut–Kalai Fourier entropy-influence conjecture

Let f:{1,1}n{1,1}f:\{-1,1\}^n\to\{-1,1\} be a Boolean function with normalized Fourier coefficients, Fourier entropy H[f]H[f], and total influence I[f]I[f].

Friedgut–Kalai Fourier entropy-influence conjecture. There exists a universal constant cc such that, for every such ff,

H[f]cI[f].H[f]\leq c I[f].

This is described as a major open problem in the analysis of Boolean functions. The conjecture concerns a dimension-independent comparison between Fourier entropy and total influence.
