Abstract: It is shown that if (X, ||.||_X) is a Banach space with Rademacher cotype q then for every integer n there exists an even integer m< n^{1+1/q}

s u c h t h a t f o r e v e r y f : Z_{m}^{n} - - > X w e h a v e

sum_{j=1}^n Avg_x [ ||f(x+ (m/2) e_j)-f(x) ||_X^q ] < C m^q Avg_{e,x} [ ||f(x+e)-f(x) ||_X^q ]$, where the expectations are with respect to uniformly chosen xin Z_m^n and ein {-1,0,1}^n, and all the implied constants may depend only on q and the Rademacher cotype q constant of X. This improves the bound of m< n^{2+frac{1}{q}} from [Mendel, Naor 2008]. The proof of the above inequality is based on a "smoothing and approximation" procedure which simplifies the proof of the metric characterization of Rademacher cotype of [Mendel, Naor 2008]. We also show that any such "smoothing and approximation" approach to metric cotype inequalities must require m> n^{(1/2)+(1/q)}.
