A Duflo-Moore theorem for ergodic group actions on semifinite von Neumann algebras

Operator Algebras 2026-05-28 v2 Functional Analysis

Abstract

We prove a generalization of the orthogonality relations of Duflo and Moore for ergodic, trace-preserving group actions on von Neumann algebras that are integrable in a suitable sense. We also obtain convolution inequalities that generalize both Young's inequality for convolution on locally compact groups and inequalities for operator-operator convolutions in Werner's quantum harmonic analysis.
