—We consider the discrete memoryless symmetric primitive relay channel, where, a source X wants to send information to a destination Y with the help of a relay Z and the relay can communicate to the destination via an error-free digital link of rate R 0 , while Y and Z are conditionally independent and identically distributed given X . We develop two upper bounds on the capacity of this channel that are tighter than existing bounds, including the celebrated cut-set bound. Our approach significantly differs from the standard information-theoretic approach for proving upper bounds on the capacity of multi-user channels. We build on the blowing-up lemma to analyze the probabilistic geometric relations between the typical sets of the n -letter random variables associated with a reliable code for communicating over this channel. These relations translate to new entropy inequalities between the n - letter random variables involved.
