Diagonalization modulo norm ideals with Lipschitz estimates

From MaRDI portal





Motivated by earlier results of Weyl, von Neumann, Berg and Voiculescu, the author investigates simultaneous diagonalization of multiplication operators with respect to a given ideal of operators. He replaces tuples of commuting operators considered by Voiculescu by multiplication operators coming from Lipschitz functions with constant at most one. He investigates a functional calculus for this class yielding for each function a diagonal operator built up from certain values of the given function. The multiplication operators are considered on the \(L^2\)-spaces with respect to a fixed measure on the underlying compact Hausdorff space. The author characterizes those measures which allow a diagonalization with respect to a fixed ideal norm in terms of `good' approximate units. He shows that the class of Lipschitz functions can be diagonalized modulo operators in the Schatten \(p\)-class for every measure if the \(p\)-dimensional Hausdorff measure is finite. In particular, this applies for an \(n\)-tuple of commuting operators for \(p=n\). For a fixed measure, he can prove simultaneous diagonalization with respect to the Schatten \(p\)-class if the volume of balls with radius \(r\) is not essentially smaller than \(r^p\). He also investigates diagonalization with respect to the Schatten-Lorentz spaces, where the second index is either one or infinity and gives examples where no simultaneous diagonalization is possible for the Schatten-Lorentz class \(S_{2,1}\).
