Anti-norms on finite von Neumann algebras (Q2350335)

Summary: As the reversed version of usual symmetric norms, we introduce the notion of symmetric anti-norms \(\|\cdot\|_!\) defined on the positive operators affiliated with a finite von Neumann algebra with a finite normal trace. Related to symmetric anti-norms, we develop majorization theory and superadditivity inequalities of the form \(\|\psi(A+B)\|_!\geq\|\psi(A)\|_!+\|\psi(B)\|_!\) for a wide class of functions \(\psi\).
