Traces of compact operators and the noncommutative residue

We extend the noncommutative residue of M. Wodzicki on compactly supported classical pseudo-differential operators of order $-d$ and generalise A. Connes' trace theorem, which states that the residue can be calculated using a singular trace on compact operators. Contrary to the role of the noncommutative residue for the classical pseudo-differential operators, a corollary is that the pseudo-differential operators of order $-d$ do not have a `unique' trace; pseudo-differential operators can be non-measurable in Connes' sense. Other corollaries are given clarifying the role of Dixmier traces in noncommutative geometry à la Connes, including the definitive statement of Connes' original theorem.

On the vector-valued Littlewood-Paley-Rubio de Francia inequality

The paper studies Banach spaces satisfying the Littlewood-Paley-Rubio de Francia property LPR_p, 2 \leq p < \infty. The paper shows that every Banach lattice whose 2-concavification is a UMD Banach lattice has this property. The paper also shows that every space having LPR_q also has LPR_p with q \leq p < \infty.

On operator valued Hardy spaces

The note shows that the operator-valued Hardy space $\sH^1$ introduced via Littlewood-Paley $g$-function coincides with the space of $H^1_R(\T, \sL^1)$ of all Bochner integrable operator-valued functions with integrable analytic part. The proof is based on the noncommutative maximal inequality for Poisson group.

Functions of normal operators under perturbations

In \cite{Pe1}, \cite{Pe2}, \cite{AP1}, \cite{AP2}, and \cite{AP3} sharp estimates for $f(A)-f(B)$ were obtained for self-adjoint operators $A$ and $B$ and for various classes of functions $f$ on the real line $\R$. In this paper we extend those results to the case of functions of normal operators. We show that if a function $f$ belongs to the Hölder class $Ł_\a(\R^2)$, $0<\a<1$, of functions of two variables, and $N_1$ and $N_2$ are normal operators, then $\|f(N_1)-f(N_2)\|\le\const\|f\|_{Ł_\a}\|N_1-N_2\|^\a$. We obtain a more general result for functions in the space $Ł_ø(\R^2)=\big\{f:~|f(\z_1)-f(\z_2)|\le\constø(|\z_1-\z_2|)\big\}$ for an arbitrary modulus of continuity $ø$. We prove that if $f$ belongs to the Besov class $B_{\be1}^1(\R^2)$, then it is operator Lipschitz, i.e., $\|f(N_1)-f(N_2)\|\le\const\|f\|_{B_{\be1}^1}\|N_1-N_2\|$. We also study properties of $f(N_1)-f(N_2)$ in the case when $f\inŁ_\a(\R^2)$ and $N_1-N_2$ belongs to the Schatten-von Neuman class $\bS_p$.

Measures from Dixmier Traces and Zeta Functions

For essentially bounded functions on a (closed) compact Riemannian manifold, the noncommutative residue and the Dixmier trace formulation of the noncommutative integral are shown to equate to a multiple of the Lebesgue integral. The identifications are shown to continue to, and be sharp at, square integrable functions. To do better than square integrable, symmetrised noncommutative residue and Dixmier trace formulas are introduced, for which the identifications are shown to continue to $L^{1+ε}$-spaces, $ε> 0$. However, a failure is shown for the Dixmier trace formulation at integrable functions. The (symmetrised) noncommutative residue and Dixmier trace formulas diverge at this point. It is shown the noncommutative residue remains finite and recovers the Lebesgue integral for any integrable function while the Dixmier trace expression can diverge. The results show the claim (in the monograph "Elements of Noncommutative Geometry", Birkhauser, 2001), that the identification on smooth functions obtained using Connes' Trace Theorem can be extended to any integrable function, is false.

Operator-Lipschitz functions in Schatten-von Neumann classes

This paper resolves a number of conjectures in the perturbation theory of linear operators. Namely, we prove that every Lipschitz function is operator Lipschitz in the Schatten-von Neumann ideals $S^α$, $1 < α< \infty$. The negative result for $S^α$, $α= 1, \infty$ was earlier established by Yu. Farforovskaya in 1972.

Spectral flow is the integral of one forms on the Banach manifold of self adjoint Fredholm operators

One may trace the idea that spectral flow should be given as the integral of a one form back to the 1974 Vancouver ICM address of I.M. Singer. Our main theorem gives analytic formulae for the spectral flow along a norm differentiable path of self-adjoint bounded Breuer-Fredholm operators in a semi-finite von Neumann algebra. These formulae have a geometric interpretation which derives from the proof. Namely we define a family of Banach submanifolds of all bounded self-adjoint Breuer-Fredholm operators and on each submanifold define global one forms whose integral on a norm differentiable path contained in the submanifold calculates the spectral flow along this path. We emphasise that our methods do not give a single globally defined one form on the self adjoint Breuer- Fredholms whose integral along all paths is spectral flow rather, as the choice of the plural `forms' in the title suggests, we need a family of such one forms in order to confirm Singer's idea. The original context for this result concerned paths of unbounded self-adjoint Fredholm operators. We therefore prove analogous formulae for spectral flow in the unbounded case as well. The proof is a synthesis of key contributions by previous authors, whom we acknowledge in detail in the introduction, combined with an additional important recent advance in the differential calculus of functions of non-commuting operators.

The Haar system in the preduals of hyperfinite factors

We shall present examples of Schauder bases in the preduals to the hyperfinite factors of types $\hbox{II}_1$, $\hbox{II}_\infty$, $\hbox{III}_λ$, $0 < λ\leq 1$. In the semifinite (respectively, purely infinite) setting, these systems form Schauder bases in any associated separable symmetric space of measurable operators (respectively, in any non-commutative $L^p$-space).

Unbounded Fredholm modules and double operator integrals

In noncommutative geometry one is interested in invariants such as the Fredholm index or spectral flow and their calculation using cyclic cocycles. A variety of formulae have been established under side conditions called summability constraints. These can be formulated in two ways, either for spectral triples or for bounded Fredholm modules. We study the relationship between these by proving various properties of the map on unbounded self adjoint operators $D$ given by $f(D)=D(1+D^2)^{-1/2}$. In particular we prove commutator estimates which are needed for the bounded case. In fact our methods work in the setting of semifinite noncommutative geometry where one has $D$ as an unbounded self adjoint linear operator affiliated with a semi-finite von Neumann algebra $\aM$. More precisely we show that for a pair $D,D_0$ of such operators with $D-D_0$ a bounded self-adjoint linear operator from $\aM$ and $ ({\bf 1}+D_0^2)^{-1/2}\in \sE$, where $\sE$ is a noncommutative symmetric space associated with $\aM$, then $$ \Vert f(D) - f (D_0) \Vert_{\sE} \leq C\cdot \Vert D-D_0\Vert_{\aM}. $$ This result is further used to show continuous differentiability of the mapping between an odd $\sE$-summable spectral triple and its bounded counterpart.
