Quadratic forms in unitary operators

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Let u1,ldots,un be unitary operators on a Hilbert space H. We study the norm left|sum^{i=n}_{i=1} u_i otimes �ar u_i ight|leqno (1) of the operator acting on the Hilbertian tensor product Hotimes2overlineH. The main result of this note is Theorem 1. For any n-tuple u1,ldots,un of unitary operators in B(H), we have 2sqrt{n-1} le left|sum^n_1 u_i otimes �ar u_i ight|.leqno (6) In other words, the right side of (6) is minimal exactly when ui=lambda(gi).
