TL;DR
This work analyzes heat semigroups on the quantum automorphism group Aut^+(B) equipped with the Plancherel trace. It proves ultracontractivity, hypercontractivity, log-Sobolev inequalities, and a spectral gap, with explicit constants tied to the dimension of B. It also establishes the sharp Sobolev embedding and Hausdorff-Young inequalities for Aut^+(B) (dim B ≥ 5), leveraging monoidal equivalence to S_n^+ and a Drinfeld double/tube-algebra perspective for alternative proofs. The results extend known properties from quantum permutation groups to the broader class Aut^+(B) and provide precise, operator-norm estimates for the heat semigroups in this noncommutative setting.
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate heat semigroups on a quantum automorphism group ${\rm Aut}^+(B)$ of a finite dimensional C*-algebra $B$ and its Plancherel trace. We show ultracontractivity, hypercontractivity, and the spectral gap inequality of the heat semigroups on ${\rm Aut}^+(B)$. Furthermore, we obtain the sharpness of the Sobolev embedding property and the Hausdorff-Young inequality of ${\rm Aut}^+(B)$.
