Sharp quantum logarithmic Sobolev inequalities via semigroup interpolation
Abstract
We develop a semigroup interpolation method for sharp logarithmic Sobolev inequalities using spectral calculus and estimates of Re⟨ Lx,x2⟩2, where L generates an auxiliary symmetric quantum Markov semigroup. We apply the method to free groups and to crossed products of a finite von Neumann algebra 𝒩 by ℤ or ℤn, for n=2 or n≥4, when the action commutes with the semigroup on 𝒩. In particular, the word-length generators on quantum tori and the Weyl word-length generators on Mn(ℂ) satisfy logarithmic Sobolev inequalities with optimal constant $2$.

AB - We develop a semigroup interpolation method for sharp logarithmic Sobolev inequalities using spectral calculus and estimates of Re⟨ Lx,x^2⟩_2, where L generates an auxiliary symmetric quantum Markov semigroup. We apply the method to free groups and to crossed products of a finite von Neumann algebra 𝒩 by ℤ or ℤ_n, for n=2 or n≥4, when the action commutes with the semigroup on 𝒩. In particular, the word-length generators on quantum tori and the Weyl word-length generators on M_n(ℂ) satisfy logarithmic Sobolev inequalities with optimal constant $2$.
