Proper cocycles, measure equivalence and $L_p$-Fourier multipliers (2506.18320v1)

Abstract: We develop a new transference method for completely bounded $L_p$-Fourier multipliers via proper cocycles arising from probability measure-preserving group actions. This method extends earlier results by Haagerup and Jolissaint, which were limited to the case $p = \infty$. Based on this approach, we present a new and simple proof of the main result in [Hong-Wang-Wang, Mem. Amer. Math. Soc. 2024] regarding the pointwise convergence of noncommutative Fourier series on amenable groups, refining the associated estimate for maximal inequalities. In addition, this framework yields a transference principle for $L_p$-Fourier multipliers from lattices in linear Lie groups to their ambient groups, establishing a noncommutative analogue of Jodeit's theorem. As a further application, we construct a natural analogue of the Hilbert transform on $SL_2(\mathbb{R})$.
