Abstract

Let MB(H)\mathcal{M}\subset B(\mathcal{H}) be a semifinite von Neumann algebra, where B(H)B(\mathcal{H}) denotes the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H\mathcal{H}, and let τ\tau be a fixed faithful normal semifinite trace on M\mathcal{M}.Let EτE_\tau be the fully symmetric space associated with a fully symmetric Banach function space EE on [0,)[0,\infty).Using a complex interpolation argument based on the three-lines theorem on a strip, we show that for positive operators a,bEτa,b\in E_\tau and t[0,1]t\in[0,1], atb1t+bta1tEτ2max{2t1/21/2,  0}  a+bEτ. \|a^t b^{1-t}+b^t a^{1-t}\|_{E_\tau}\le 2^{\max\{2|t-1/2|-1/2,\;0\}}\;\|a+b\|_{E_\tau}. In particular, we obtain the sharp constant 11 for t[1/4,3/4]t\in[1/4,3/4]: atb1t+bta1tEτa+bEτ. \|a^t b^{1-t}+b^t a^{1-t}\|_{E_\tau}\le \|a+b\|_{E_\tau}. This extends the work of Kittaneh--Ricard in \emph{Linear Algebra Appl.} \textbf{710} (2025), 356--362 and covers the results of Liu--He--Zhao in \emph{Acta Math. Sci. Ser. B (Engl. Ed.)} \textbf{46} (2026), 62--68
