Noncommutative maximal ergodic theorems

This paper is devoted to the study of various maximal ergodic theorems in noncommutative <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper L Subscript p"> <mml:semantics> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>L</mml:mi> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> </mml:msub> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">L_p</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> -spaces. In particular, we prove the noncommutative analogue of the classical Dunford-Schwartz maximal ergodic inequality for positive contractions on <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper L Subscript p"> <mml:semantics> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>L</mml:mi> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> </mml:msub> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">L_p</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> and the analogue of Stein’s maximal inequality for symmetric positive contractions. We also obtain the corresponding individual ergodic theorems. We apply these results to a family of natural examples which frequently appear in von Neumann algebra theory and in quantum probability.
