Various new nonembeddability results (mainly into L1) are proved via Fourier analysis. In particular, it is shown that the Edit Distance on {0,1}^d has L1 distortion (\log d)^frac{1}{2}^{} - (1). We also give new lower bounds on the L1 distortion of quotients of the discrete hypercube under group actions, and the transportation cost (Earthmover) metric.
