Abstract

Consider (Tt)t0(T_t)_{t\ge 0} and (St)t0(S_t)_{t\ge 0} as real C0C_0-semigroups generated by closed and symmetric sesquilinear forms on a standard form of a von Neumann algebra. We provide a characterisation for the domination of the semigroup (Tt)t0(T_t)_{t\ge 0} by (St)t0(S_t)_{t\ge 0}, which means that StvTtuStv-S_t v\le T_t u\le S_t v holds for all t0t\ge 0 and all real uu and vv that satisfy vuv-v\le u\le v. This characterisation extends the Ouhabaz characterisation for semigroup domination to the non-commutative L2L^2 spaces. Additionally, we present a simpler characterisation when both semigroups are positive as well as consider the setting in which (Tt)t0(T_t)_{t\ge 0} need not be real.
