Noncommutative maximal weak type $(1,1)$ estimates for convolution operators under $L_1$-Hörmander conditions

Abstract

We prove weak type $(1,1)$ estimates for families of scalar convolution operators acting on operator-valued function spaces. A joint $L_1$-Hörmander condition, together with a maximal strong type estimate at one exponent $1<r\leq\infty$, suffices. The kernels may be complex-valued and need not have uniformly bounded $L_1$ norms. Under a size condition, the result also yields a weak endpoint estimate for all sharp truncation radii of singular kernels. This resolves, for convolution kernels, the problem mentioned in \cite[Remark~5.5]{parcet09pseudo} and recalled in Parcet's recent survey \cite[Remark~1.3]{Parcet2026ICM}. The proof involves not only a simultaneous dyadic representation of the operators but also a noncommutative maximal weak type $(1,1)$ estimates of the resulting dyadic operators. This approach seems entirely new even in the commutative setting. Numerous applications are provided. On the one hand, it yields various maximal inequalities and pointwise convergence results for integrable kernels and dyadic approximations of the identity, monotone $L\log L$ majorants, and Poisson integrals on nilpotent groups and symmetric spaces. On the other hand, via various transference techniques, it implies maximal inequalities for Fourier multipliers, Schur multipliers and double operator integrals, together with bilateral almost uniform convergence of dyadic Fourier summation methods on $L_1$ of group von Neumann algebras.

Linear Preservers of Semipositivity over Proper Cones

We classify all real linear operators on $M_{m,n}(\mathbb{R})$, with $m,n\ge2$, that preserve semipositivity between two prescribed pairs of proper cones, without assuming invertibility. Every such operator has product form $L(A)=XAY$ or degenerate form $L(A)=Ψ(u^TA)$, possibly both. We give necessary and sufficient cone conditions for each form; the degenerate condition is expressed through a linear matrix pencil on the dual of the target output cone. The degenerate preservers are exactly those of operator rank $n$, and every preserver of larger rank has product form. We also classify all linear preservers from $M_{2,2}(\mathbb{R})$ to $M_{1,3}(\mathbb{R})$ over the nonnegative orthants, obtaining three disjoint classes, including two rank-three classes outside product form.

Geometric conditions which imply $w^*$-normal structure

Let $X$ be a complex Banach space. In their seminal work, Lau and Mah (\cite{LM}) study a geometric property called Lim's condition which, for separable $X$, implies that for any non-empty $w^*$-compact convex set $K \subset X^*$, any nonexpansive mapping $T: K \rightarrow K$ has a fixed point. In this paper, we study a weaker form of Lim's condition, which we call weak-Lim's condition. We prove that if $\ell_1 \not\hookrightarrow X$, then weak-Lim's condition on $X^*$ implies the fixed point property for non-expansive maps on weakly compact subsets of $X$. In the case of a commutative $C^\ast$-algebra, we prove that weak-Lim's condition is equivalent to Lim's condition. We show that Lim's condition characterizes $C^*$-algebras which are a $c_0$-direct sum of finite-dimensional operator spaces, while weak-Lim's condition characterizes $C^*$-algebras which are a $c_0$-direct sum of the spaces of compact operators on Hilbert spaces. For a uniform algebra, we extend a result of Lau and Mah to show that weak-Lim's condition implies that the space is finite-dimensional. In the case of an $L^1$-predual space, we show that this condition implies $k$-smoothness of the norm in the sense considered in \cite{LR}.

Kubo-Ando Means of Finite Order over Real Division Algebras

In this paper, we study Kubo-Ando means of finite order over the real division algebras $\mathbb{R}$, $\mathbb{C}$, and $\mathbb{H}$. We establish an explicit bijection between Kubo-Ando means of order $n$ and normalized positive functions $f$ such that both $f$ and its transpose $f^{\top}(t)=tf(t^{-1})$ are matrix monotone of order $n$. We also prove that matrix monotonicity of a fixed order is independent of the underlying division algebra. We then investigate finite-order Kubo-Ando means under the canonical embeddings relating quaternionic, complex, and real positive definite matrices. These embeddings preserve functional calculus and the Loewner order, inducing natural correspondences between means on the original and embedded cones. We characterize their extensions to the ambient cones and study the geometry of the embeddings with respect to the Log-Euclidean metric. As an application, we obtain explicit affine formulas for Kubo-Ando means of order $2$ on $\mathscr{P}_{2}(\mathbb{D})$ and transfer them to the associated embedded cones of $4\times4$ positive definite matrices. In particular, we derive trace-determinant formulas for the geometric mean and show that they do not, in general, extend to the full ambient cones.
