Sharp Quasi-Reverse Minkowski Inequality for Schatten Norms

Abstract

Let $\|\cdot\|_p$ denote the Schatten $p$-norm and let $|A|=(A^*A)^{1/2}$. For $2\leq p<\infty$, let $x_{p,m}>1$ be the unique solution of $x_{p,m}^p=2x_{p,m}+m-1$, and set \[ C_{p,m}=\frac{\sqrt{x_{p,m}(x_{p,m}+m-1)}}{(x_{p,m}^p+m-1)^{1/p}}. \] We prove the sharp inequality \[ \|A_1+\cdots+A_m\|_p\leq C_{p,m}\bigl\||A_1|+\cdots+|A_m|\bigr\|_p \] for arbitrary complex matrices of arbitrary size. Equivalently, if $q=p/(p-1)$ and $R,X_1,\cdots,+X_m$ are positive semidefinite, then \[ \|RX_1\|_1+\cdots\|RX_m\|_1 \leq C_{p,m}\|R\|_q\|X_1+\cdots X_m\|_p. \] For $1<p<2$, we also show that the formula proposed for the optimal constant fails. We give both a numerical counterexample and a systematic analytic construction.oposed for the optimal constant fails. We give both a numerical counterexample and a systematic analytic construction.

Conditional expectation operators on $C(X)$

At the COSAEF conference in 2021, several participants asked the question whether a conditional expectation operator in the sense of Kuo, Labaushagne and Watson could be constructed in vector lattices other than $\mathcal{L}_p$ spaces and in particular in $C(X)$. This work answers positively to this question and participates in an old discussion on integrals in $C(X)$ space.

Fixed Point Rigidity of the Operator $Γ_pΠ_p^\ast$ and the LYZ Conjecture

We characterize the fixed points of the operator $Γ_pΠ_p^\ast$ for $n\geq 3$ and $1 0$ if and only if $K$ is an origin-centered ellipsoid, thereby settling the Lutwak--Yang--Zhang fixed-point conjecture in this range. Our proof is based on a variational analysis along linear reflection shadow systems. To address the nonlinear structure of the $L_p$ setting, we introduce the $L_p$-Projection Rolodex, which provides a dimensional reduction of the volume of the polar $L_p$-projection body to weighted lower-dimensional sectional functionals. A suitable change of variables, together with Ball's harmonic Prékopa--Leindler inequality, yields the convexity needed along the shadow system. Under the fixed-point condition, a first-variation identity then forces $\operatorname{vol}_n(Π_p^\ast K_t)$ to remain constant throughout the deformation. The rigidity statement follows from the equality characterization under Steiner symmetrization.

Logarithmic oscillatory multipliers and log-subdyadic square functions

We develop square-function estimates for Fourier multipliers whose local oscillation scale is \[ ρ(R)=\frac{R}{(\log R)^{γ-1}}, \qquad γ>1. \] This scale lies strictly between the dyadic scale and every fixed power-subdyadic scale at high frequency. For high-frequency symbols satisfying a localized Sobolev condition on balls of radius comparable to $ρ(R)$, we prove a pointwise square-function estimate and a weighted $L^2$ multiplier inequality. After adjoining a smooth compactly supported low-frequency part, we derive unweighted $L^p$ bounds. The weighted estimate is governed by a logarithmic geometric maximal operator which is strongly bounded above the critical $L^r$ threshold, satisfies weak type at the critical equality, and fails even weak type below it. As a model application, consider \[ L(ξ)=\frac12\log(e^2+|ξ|^2), \qquad m_{γ,β}(ξ)=L(ξ)^{-β}e^{iL(ξ)^γ}. \] For $p=2$, the associated multiplier is bounded on $L^2$ for every $β\geq0$. For $1 d(γ-1)\left|\frac12-\frac1p\right|. \] At the critical equality we obtain the corresponding Lorentz endpoint estimates.
