Logarithmic submajorisation and order-preserving linear isometries

Abstract: Let $\mathcal{E}$ and $\mathcal{F}$ be symmetrically $\Delta$-normed (in particular, quasi-normed) operator spaces affiliated with semifinite von Neumann algebras $\mathcal{M}_1$ and $\mathcal{M}_2$, respectively. We establish a noncommutative version of Abramovich's theorem \cite{A1983}, which provides the general form of normal order-preserving linear operators $T:\mathcal{E} \stackrel{into}{\longrightarrow} \mathcal{F}$ having the disjointness preserving property. As an application, we obtain a noncommutative Huijsmans-Wickstead theorem \cite{Huijsmans_W}. By establishing the disjointness preserving property for an order-preserving isometry $T:\mathcal{E} \stackrel{into}{\longrightarrow} \mathcal{F}$, we obtain the existence of a Jordan $*$-monomorphism from $\mathcal{M}_1$ into $\mathcal{M}_2$ and the general form of this isometry, which extends and complements a number of existing results. In particular, we fully resolve the case when $\mathcal{F}$ is the predual of $\mathcal{M}_2$ and other untreated cases in [Sukochev-Veksler, IEOT, 2018].
