In this paper, we obtain optimal time hypercontractivity bounds for the free product extension of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup acting on the Clifford algebra. Our approach is based on a central limit theorem for free products of spin…
The hypercontractivity is proved for the Markov semigroup associated to a class of finite/infinite dimensional stochastic Hamiltonian systems. Consequently, the Markov semigroup is exponentially convergent to the invariant probability…
Extending a work of Carlen and Lieb, Biane has obtained the optimal hypercontractivity of the $q$-Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup on the $q$-deformation of the free group algebra. In this note, we look for an extension of this result to the…
We prove that for any infinite, maximal amenable subgroup $H$ in a hyperbolic group $G$, the von Neumann subalgebra $LH$ is maximal amenable inside $LG$. It provides many new, explicit examples of maximal amenable subalgebras in II$_1$…
An explicit sufficient condition on the hypercontractivity is derived for the Markov semigroup associated to a class of functional stochastic differential equations. Consequently, the semigroup $P_t$ converges exponentially to its unique…
For $1<p\le q<\infty$ and $n\in\{3\cdot 2^{k},2^{k}\}$ with $k\ge 1$, we prove that the Poisson-like semigroup $(P_t)_{t\in \mathbb{R}_+}$ on $\mathbb{Z}_n$, associated with the word length $\psi_n(k)=\min(k,n-k)$, is hypercontractive from…

Motivated by Popa's seminal work \cite{Po04}, in this paper, we provide a fairly large class of examples of group actions $\Gamma \curvearrowright X$ satisfying the extended Neshveyev-St{\o}rmer rigidity phenomenon \cite{NS03}: whenever…
Developing new techniques at the interface of geometric group theory and von Neumann algebras, we identify the first examples of ICC groups $G$ whose von Neumann algebras are McDuff and exhibit a new rigidity phenomenon, termed McDuff…
We investigate the hypercontractivity property of generalized Mehler semigroups on the $L^p$-scale with respect to invariant measures. This property is first obtained in the purely theoretical setting of skew operators and, subsequently,…
In this article, we consider actions of \mathcal{Z}_+^d, \mathcal{R}_+^d and finitely generated free groups on a von Neumann algebras $M$ and prove a version of maximal ergodic inequality. Additionally, we establish non-commutative…
Given a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ and an ergodic, integrable action $L^\infty(\mathbb{X})\stackrel{\alpha}\curvearrowleft \mathbb{G}$, the von Neumann algebra $L^\infty(\mathbb{X}\times_{\mathbb{G}}\bar{\mathbb{X}}):=…
The left-invariant sub-Riemannian problem on the Engel group is considered. This problem is very important as nilpotent approximation of nonholonomic systems in four-dimensional space with two-dimensional control, for instance of a system…
The present paper is devoted to the second part of our project on asymmetric maximal inequalities, where we consider martingales in continuous time. Let $(\mathcal M,\tau)$ be a noncommutative probability space equipped with a continuous…
Our first result is a noncommutative form of Jessen/Marcinkiewicz/Zygmund theorem for the maximal limit of multiparametric martingales or ergodic means. It implies bilateral almost uniform convergence with initial data in the expected…

In this note, we answer a question raised by Johnson and Schechtman \cite{JS}, about the hypercontractive semigroup on $\{-1,1\}^{\NN}$. More generally, we prove the folllowing theorem. Let $1<p<2$. Let $(T(t))_{t>0}$ be a holomorphic…
The hypercontractive inequality is a fundamental result in analysis, with many applications throughout discrete mathematics, theoretical computer science, combinatorics and more. So far, variants of this inequality have been proved mainly…
In this paper we study two semigroups of completely positive unital self-adjoint maps on the von Neumann algebras of the free orthogonal quantum group $O_N^+$ and the free permutation quantum group $S_N^+$. We show that these semigroups…
This paper is devoted to the study of pointwise convergence of Fourier series for group von Neumann algebras and quantum groups. It is well-known that a number of approximation properties of groups can be interpreted as summation methods…
