Hardy-Littlewood inequalities on compact quantum groups of Kac type (1701.08922v1)

Abstract: The Hardy-Littlewood inequality on $\mathbb{T}$ compares the $L^p$-norm of a function with a weighted $\ell^p$-norm of its Fourier coefficients. The approach has recently been studied for compact homogeneous spaces and we study a natural analogue in the framework of compact quantum groups. Especially, in the case of the reduced group $C^*$-algebras and free quantum groups, we establish explicit $L^p-\ell^p$ inequalities through inherent information of underlying quantum group, such as growth rate and rapid decay property. Moreover, we show sharpness of the inequalities in a large class, including $C(G)$ with compact Lie group, $C_r^*(G)$ with polynomially growing discrete group and free quantum groups $O_N^+$, $S_N^+$.
