On the isometrisability of group actions on p-spaces

Group Theory 2020-01-27 v2 Functional Analysis

Abstract

In this note we consider a pp-isometrisability property of discrete groups. If p=2p=2 this property is equivalent to unitarisability. We prove that any group containing a non-abelian free subgroup is not pp-isometrisable for any p(1,)p\in (1, \infty). We also discuss some open questions and possible relations of pp-isometrisability with the recently introduced Littlewood exponent Lit(Γ){\rm Lit}(\Gamma).
