Campanato spaces via quantum Markov semigroups on finite von Neumann algebras (2409.14414v1)

Abstract: We study the Campanato spaces associated with quantum Markov semigroups on a finite von Neumann algebra $\mathcal M$. Let $\mathcal T=(T_{t}){t\geq0}$ be a Markov semigroup, $\mathcal P=(P{t}){t\geq0}$ the subordinated Poisson semigroup and $\alpha>0$. The column Campanato space ${\mathcal{L}^{c}{\alpha}(\mathcal{P})}$ associated to $\mathcal P$ is defined to be the subset of $\mathcal M$ with finite norm which is given by \begin{align*} |f|{\mathcal{L}^{c}{\alpha}(\mathcal{P})}=\left|f\right|{\infty}+\sup{t>0}\frac{1}{t^{\alpha}}\left|P_{t}|(I-P_{t})^{[\alpha]+1}f|^{2}\right|^{\frac{1}{2}}_{\infty}. \end{align*} The row space ${\mathcal{L}^{r}_{\alpha}(\mathcal{P})}$ is defined in a canonical way. In this article, we will first show the surprising coincidence of these two spaces ${\mathcal{L}^{c}_{\alpha}(\mathcal{P})}$ and ${\mathcal{L}^{r}_{\alpha}(\mathcal{P})}$ for $0<\alpha<2$. This equivalence of column and row norms is generally unexpected in the noncommutative setting. The approach is to identify both of them as the Lipschitz space ${\Lambda_{\alpha}(\mathcal{P})}$. This coincidence passes to the little Campanato spaces $\ell^{c}_{\alpha}(\mathcal{P})$ and $\ell^{r}_{\alpha}(\mathcal{P})$ for $0<\alpha<\frac{1}{2}$ under the condition $\Gamma^{2}\geq0$. We also show that any element in ${\mathcal{L}^{c}_{\alpha}(\mathcal{P})}$ enjoys the higher order cancellation property, that is, the index $[\alpha]+1$ in the definition of the Campanato norm can be replaced by any integer greater than $\alpha$. It is a surprise that this property holds without further condition on the semigroup. Lastly, following Mei's work on BMO, we also introduce the spaces ${\mathcal{L}^{c}_{\alpha}(\mathcal{T})}$ and explore their connection with ${\mathcal{L}^{c}_{\alpha}(\mathcal{P})}$. All the above-mentioned results seem new even in the (semi-)commutative case.
