Let \(P_r\) be a Poisson semigroup on a finite cyclic group \(C_n\) of order \(n\). Denote by \(\beta (n,p,q)\) the maximal possible value of \(r\) for which \(P_r\) is a contraction from \(L^p\) to \(L^q\), \(q\geq p\). The author surveys known estimates of \(\beta (n,p,q)\) for \(n=2,3,4\). It is also shown that \[ \beta (3,p,q)\geq \left( \frac{p-1}{q-1}\right)^{\frac{3}4\ln 2} \] if \(q\geq p>1\). As indicated by the author, an equivalent result was obtained also by \textit{P. Diaconis} and \textit{L. Saloff-Coste} [Ann. Appl. Probab. 6, 695-750 (1996; Zbl 0867.60043)].
