We study analogues of classical Hilbert transforms as fourier multipliers on free groups. We prove their complete boundedness on non commutative $L^p$ spaces associated with the free group von Neumann algebras for all $1<p<infty$. This implies that the decomposition of the free group $F_infty$ into reduced words starting with distinct free generators is completely unconditional in $L^p$. We study the case of Voiculescus amalgamated free products of von Neumann algebras as well. As by-products, we obtain a positive answer to a compactness-problem posed by Ozawa, a length independent estimate for Junge-Parcet-Xus free Rosenthal inequality, a Littlewood-Paley-Stein type inequality for geodesic paths of free groups, and a length reduction formula for $L^p$-norms of free group von Neumann algebras.
We introduce a class of independence relations, which include free, Boolean and monotone independence, in operator valued probability. We show that this class of independence relations have a matricial extension property so that we can easily study their associated convolutions via Voiculescus fully matricial function theory. Based the matricial extension property, we show that many results can be generalized to multi-variable cases. Besides free, Boolean and monotone independence convolutions, we will focus on two important convolutions, which are orthogonal and subordination additive convolutions. We show that the operator-valued subordination functions, which come from the free additive convolutions or the operator-valued free convolution powers, are reciprocal Cauchy transforms of operator-valued random variables which are uniquely determined up to Voiculescus fully matricial function theory. In the end, we study relations between certain convolutions and transforms in $C^*$-operator valued probability.
The Hilbert transforms associated with monomial curves have a natural non-isotropic structure. We study the commutator of such Hilbert transforms and a symbol $b$ and prove the upper bound of this commutator when $b$ is in the corresponding non-isotropic BMO space by using the Cauchy integral trick. We also consider the lower bound of this commutator by introducing a new testing BMO space associated with the given monomial curve, which shows that the classical non-isotropic BMO space is contained in the testing BMO space. We also show that the non-zero curvature of such monomial curves are important, since when considering Hilbert transforms associated with lines, the parallel version of non-isotropic BMO space and testing BMO space have overlaps but do not have containment.
In this paper, for $1<p<infty$, we obtain the $L^p$-boundedness of the Hilbert transform $H^{gamma}$ along a variable plane curve $(t,u(x_1, x_2)gamma(t))$, where $u$ is a Lipschitz function with small Lipschitz norm, and $gamma$ is a general curve satisfying some suitable smoothness and curvature conditions.
In deformation-rigidity theory it is often important to know whether certain bimodules are weakly contained in the coarse bimodule. Consider a bimodule $H$ over the group algebra $mathbb{C}[Gamma]$, with $Gamma$ a discrete group. The starting point of this paper is that if a dense set of the so-called coefficients of $H$ is contained in the Schatten $mathcal{S}_p$ class $p in [2, infty)$ then the $n$-fold tensor power $H^{otimes n}_Gamma$ for $n geq p/2$ is quasi-contained in the coarse bimodule. We apply this to gradient bimodules associated with the carre du champ of a symmetric quantum Markov semi-group. For Coxeter groups we give a number of characterizations of having coefficients in $mathcal{S}_p$ for the gradient bimodule constructed from the word length function. We get equivalence of: (1) the gradient-$mathcal{S}_p$ property introduced by the second named author, (2) smallness at infinity of a natural compactification of the Coxeter group, and for a large class of Coxeter groups: (3) walks in the Coxeter diagram called parity paths. We derive three strong solidity results: two are known, one is new. The first result is a concise proof of a result by T. Sinclair for discrete groups admitting a proper cocycle into a $p$-integrable representation. The second result is strong solidity for hyperbolic right-angled Coxeter groups. The final -- and new -- result extends current strong solidity results for right-angled Hecke von Neumann algebras beyond right-angled Coxeter groups that are small at infinity.
We prove that an arbitrary (not necessarily countably generated) Hilbert $G$-$cla$ module on a G-C^* algebra $cla$ admits an equivariant embedding into a trivial $G-cla$ module, provided G is a compact Lie group and its action on $cla$ is ergodic.
