N2 - In 1996, Friedgut and Kalai made the Fourier Entropy- Influence Conjecture: For every Boolean function it holds that , where is the spectral entropy of f, I[f] is the total influence of f, and C is a universal constant. In this work we verify the conjecture for symmetric functions. More generally, we verify it for functions with symmetry group where d is constant. We also verify the conjecture for functions computable by read-once decision trees.
