TL;DR
This work develops a non-commutative Fourier analysis framework for semifinite von Neumann algebras and locally compact Kac groups, introducing a Fourier structure that enables non-commutative versions of Hörmander-Mikhlin multiplier theorems. The authors prove general $L^{p}$-boundedness results for Fourier multipliers via a spectral operator $oldsymbol{\mathcal{D}}$ and a bounded operator $oldsymbol{\Psi}$, with bounds expressed in Lorentz spaces $L^{r,\, u}$ and involving $oldsymbol{}(t;oldsymbol{\mathcal{D}}^{eta}A)$; in the commutative case these reduce to the sharp classical criteria. Central to the approach are Paley-type and Hardy-Littlewood inequalities in the non-commutative setting, derived from the Fourier structure and generalized singular values. The paper also demonstrates applications to non-commutative evolution equations, establishing decay and regularity estimates for associated propagators and situating the results within the broader landscape of non-commutative harmonic analysis and quantum group theory.
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a Fourier-type formalism on non-commutative spaces. As a result, we obtain two versions of Hormander-Mikhlin Lp-multiplier theorem: on locally compact Kac groups and on semi-finite von Neumann algebras, respectively. In the simplest case our result coincides with a sharp version of the classical Hormander Lp-multiplier theorem, which was obtained by Grafakos and Slavikova in [11]. Finally, we present some applications to the evolution equation in non-commutative setting.
