Description
Summary:Let E be a separable (or the dual of a separable) symmetric function space, let M be a semifinite von Neumann algebra and let E ( M ) be the associated noncommutative function space. Let ( ε k ) k ⩾ 1 be a Rademacher sequence, on some probability space Ω. For finite sequences ( x k ) k ⩾ 1 of E ( M ) , we consider the Rademacher averages ∑ k ε k ⊗ x k as elements of the noncommutative function space E ( L ∞ ( Ω ) ⊗ ¯ M ) and study estimates for their norms ‖ ∑ k ε k ⊗ x k ‖ E calculated in that space. We establish general Khintchine type inequalities in this context. Then we show that if E is 2-concave, ‖ ∑ k ε k ⊗ x k ‖ E is equivalent to the infimum of ‖ ( ∑ y k ∗ y k ) 1 2 ‖ + ‖ ( ∑ z k z k ∗ ) 1 2 ‖ over all y k , z k in E ( M ) such that x k = y k + z k for any k ⩾ 1 . Dual estimates are given when E is 2-convex and has a nontrivial upper Boyd index. In this case, ‖ ∑ k ε k ⊗ x k ‖ E is equivalent to ‖ ( ∑ x k ∗ x k ) 1 2 ‖ + ‖ ( ∑ x k x k ∗ ) 1 2 ‖ . We also study Rademacher averages ∑ i , j ε i ⊗ ε j ⊗ x i j for doubly indexed families ( x i j ) i , j of E ( M ) .
