Fuglede theorem for symmetric spaces of $\tau$-measurable operators

Functional Analysis 2025-12-17 v1

Abstract

We extend the classical Fuglede commutativity theorem to the full scale of symmetrically normed operator ideals. Our main result provides a complete characterization: a symmetric ideal or symmetric operator space of τ\tau-measurable operators satisfies the Fuglede theorem if and only if its commutative core has non-trivial Boyd indices, or equivalently, if it is an interpolation space in the scale of LpL_p-spaces for 1<p<1<p<\infty. This criterion subsumes all previously known cases, including Lorentz and Schatten classes.
