Rosenthal inequalities in noncommutative symmetric spaces

We give a direct proof of the ‘upper’ Khintchine inequality for a noncommutative symmetric (quasi-)Banach function space with nontrivial upper Boyd index. This settles an open question of C. Le Merdy and the fourth named author (Le Merdy and Sukochev, 2008 [24]). We apply this result to derive a version of Rosenthal?s theorem for sums of independent random variables in a noncommutative symmetric space. As a result we obtain a new proof of Rosenthal?s theorem for (Haagerup) Lp-spaces.     

Rearrangement invariance of Rademacher multiplicator spaces

Let X be a rearrangement invariant function space on [0,1]. We consider the Rademacher multiplicator space Λ(R,X) of all measurable functions x such that x⋅h∈X for every a.e. converging series h=∑anrn∈X, where (rn) are the Rademacher functions. We study the situation when Λ(R,X) is a rearrangement invariant space different from L^∞. Particular attention is given to the case when X is an interpolation space between the Lorentz space Λ(φ) and the Marcinkiewicz space M(φ). Consequences are derived regarding the behaviour of partial sums and tails of Rademacher series in function spaces.     

Multipliers on the Set of Rademacher Series in Symmetric Spaces

Let E be a symmetric space on [0,1]. Let (,E) be the space of measurable functions f such that fg E for every almost everywhere convergent series g=b _n r _n E, where (r _n) are the Rademacher functions. It was shown that, for a broad class of spaces E, the space (,E) is not order isomorphic to a symmetric space, and we study the conditions under which such an isomorphism exists. We give conditions on E for (,E) to be order isomorphic to L . This includes some classes of Lorentz and Marcinkiewicz spaces. We also study the conditions under which (,E) is order isomorphic to a symmetric space that differs from L . The answer is positive for the Orlicz spaces E=L _q with _q(t)=exp|t|^q-1 and 0相似文献   

Complex crowns of Riemannian symmetric spaces and non-compactly causal symmetric spaces

In this paper we define a distinguished boundary for the complex crowns of non-compact Riemannian symmetric spaces . The basic result is that affine symmetric spaces of can appear as a component of this boundary if and only if they are non-compactly causal symmetric spaces.

     

Rademacher series and isomorphisms of rearrangement invariant spaces on the finite interval and on the semi-axis

Let X be a rearrangement invariant function space on [0,1]. We consider the subspace Radi X of X which consists of all functions of the form , where xk are arbitrary independent functions from X and rk are usual Rademacher functions independent of {xk}. We prove that Radi X is complemented in X if and only if both X and its Köthe dual space X^′ possess the so-called Kruglov property. As a consequence we show that the last conditions guarantee that X is isomorphic to some rearrangement invariant function space on [0,∞). This strengthens earlier results derived in different approach in [W.B. Johnson, B. Maurey, G. Schechtman, L. Tzafriri, Symmetric structures in Banach spaces, Mem. Amer. Math. Soc. 1 (217) (1979)].     

The little Grothendieck theorem and Khintchine inequalities for symmetric spaces of measurable operators

We prove the little Grothendieck theorem for any 2-convex noncommutative symmetric space. Let M be a von Neumann algebra equipped with a normal faithful semifinite trace τ, and let E be an r.i. space on (0,∞). Let E(M) be the associated symmetric space of measurable operators. Then to any bounded linear map T from E(M) into a Hilbert space H corresponds a positive norm one functional f∈E(2)^∗(M) such that

Polar actions on Hermitian and quaternion-Kähler symmetric spaces

We analyze polar actions on Hermitian and quaternion-Kähler symmetric spaces of compact type. For complex integrable polar actions on Hermitian symmetric spaces of compact type we prove a reduction theorem and several corollaries concerning the geometry of these actions. The results are independent of the classification of polar actions on Hermitian symmetric spaces. In the second part we prove that polar actions on Wolf spaces are quaternion-coisotropic and that isometric actions on these spaces admit an orbit of special type, analogous to the existence of a complex orbit for an isometric action on a compact homogeneous simply connected Kähler manifold.     

Eigenvalue pinching theorems on compact symmetric spaces

We prove two first eigenvalue pinching theorems for Riemannian symmetric spaces (Theorems 1 and 2). As their application, we answer negatively a question raised by Elworthy and Rosenberg, who proposed to show that for every compact simple Lie group with a bi-invariant Riemannian metric on with respect to , being the Killing form of the Lie algebra , the first eigenvalue would satisfy

for all orthonormal bases of tangent spaces of (cf. Corollary 3). This problem arose in an attempt to give a spectral geometric proof that for a Lie group .

     

Disjointly strictly singular inclusions of symmetric spaces

In this paper, the disjoint strict singularity of inclusions of symmetric spaces of functions on an interval is considered. A condition for the presence of a “gap” between spaces sufficient for the inclusion of one of these spaces into the other to be disjointly strictly singular is found. The condition is stated in terms of fundamental functions of spaces and is exact in a certain sense. In parallel, necessary and sufficient conditions for an inclusion of Lorentz spaces to be disjointly strictly singular (and similar conditions for Marcinkiewicz spaces) are obtained and certain other assertions are proved.

On the exponentiality of affine symmetric spaces

An affine symmetric space G/H is said to be exponential if every two points of this space can be joined by a geodesic and weakly exponential if the union of all geodesics issuing from one point is everywhere dense in G/H. For the group space (G × G)/G _diag of a Lie group G, these properties are equivalent to the exponentiality and weak exponentiality of G, respectively. We generalize known theorems on the image of the exponential mapping in Lie groups to the case of affine symmetric spaces. We prove the weak exponentiality of the symmetric spaces of solvable Lie groups, and in the semisimple case we obtain criteria for exponentiality and weak exponentiality.     

Equivariant embeddings of Hermitian symmetric spaces

We prove that equivariant, holomorphic embeddings of Hermitian symmetric spaces are totally geodesic (when the image is not of exceptional type).     

Compact weakly symmetric spaces and spherical pairs

Let be a spherical pair and assume that is a connected compact simple Lie group and a closed subgroup of . We prove in this paper that the homogeneous manifold is weakly symmetric with respect to and possibly an additional fixed isometry . It follows that M. Krämer's classification list of such spherical pairs also becomes a classification list of compact weakly symmetric spaces. In fact, our proof involves a case-by-case study of the isotropy representations of all spherical pairs on Krämer's list.

     

Symmetric and finitely symmetric polynomials on the spaces and

We consider on the space polynomials that are invariant regarding permutations of the sequence variable or regarding finite permutations. Accordingly, they are trivial or factor through c₀. The analogous study, with analogous results, is carried out on , replacing the permutations of by measurable bijections of that preserve the Lebesgue measure.     

Maximal surface group representations in isometry groups of classical Hermitian symmetric spaces

Higgs bundles and non-abelian Hodge theory provide holomorphic methods with which to study the moduli spaces of surface group representations in a reductive Lie group G. In this paper we survey the case in which G is the isometry group of a classical Hermitian symmetric space of non-compact type. Using Morse theory on the moduli spaces of Higgs bundles, we compute the number of connected components of the moduli space of representations with maximal Toledo invariant Members of VBAC (Vector Bundles on Algebraic Curves).

Rigidity of smooth Schubert varieties in Hermitian symmetric spaces

In this paper we study the space of effective -cycles in with the homology class equal to an integral multiple of the homology class of Schubert variety of type . When is a proper linear subspace of a linear space in , we know that is already complicated. We will show that for a smooth Schubert variety in a Hermitian symmetric space, any irreducible subvariety with the homology class , , is again a Schubert variety of type , unless is a non-maximal linear space. In particular, any local deformation of such a smooth Schubert variety in Hermitian symmetric space is obtained by the action of the Lie group .

     

On gap rigidity problems for compact Hermitian symmetric spaces

We prove a gap rigidity theorem for diagonal curves in maximal polyspheres of irreducible compact Hermitian symmetric spaces of tube type, which is a dual analog to a theorem obtained by Mok. Motivated by the proof we show that the Chow space of certain totally geodesic submanifolds is affine algebraic, which gives a weaker version of gap rigidity for a class of higher dimensional submanifolds.     

The dual of noncommutative Lorentz spaces
