TL;DR
This work extends the classical Fujita theory for nonlinear heat equations to noncommutative geometry by studying the semilinear heat equation on quantum Euclidean spaces $L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^{d}_{\theta})$. It develops the noncommutative analytic framework (NC $L^{p}$ spaces, trace, differential calculus) and analyzes the NC heat semigroup via a Gaussian operator, establishing a Tauberian-type norm equivalence for the $L^{1}$-norm. A central contribution is a fundamental nonlinear inequality for $p$-th powers in semifinite von Neumann algebras, enabling global existence and local well-posedness theory through double operator integrals. The paper identifies the critical exponent $p_F=1+\frac{2}{d}$, proving blow-up for $p\le p_F$ and global existence for small data when $p>p_F$, thereby generalizing Fujita-type results to noncommutative spaces and providing tools for nonlinear PDEs in operator-algebra contexts.
Abstract
We study the well-posedness of a non-linear heat equation with power nonlinearity with positive initial data on quantum Euclidean spaces. We prove a noncommutative analogue of the classical Fujita theorem by identifying the critical exponent separating finite-time blow-up from global existence for small initial data. Moreover, we establish a fundamental inequality in general semifinite von Neumann algebras that is of independent interest and plays a crucial role in the study of global existence and local well-posedness of solutions of nonlinear equations in noncommutative setting.
