摘要
We prove that Boolean functions on S-n whose Fourier transform is highly concentrated on the first two irreducible representations of S-n are close to being unions of cosets of point-stabilizers. We use this to give a natural proof of a stability result on intersecting families of permutations, originally conjectured by Cameron and Ku [6], and first proved in [10]. We also use it to prove a 'quasi-stability' result for an edge-isoperimetric inequality in the transposition graph on S-n, namely that subsets of S-n with small edge-boundary in the transposition graph are close to being unions of cosets of point-stabilizers.
