abstract

We show that Araki and Masuda's weighted non-commutative vector valued $L_p$-spaces [Araki \& Masuda, Publ. Res. Inst. Math. Sci., 18:339 (1982)] correspond to an algebraic generalization of the sandwiched R\'enyi divergences with parameter $\alpha = \frac{p}{2}$. Using complex interpolation theory, we prove various fundamental properties of these divergences in the setup of von Neumann algebras, including a data-processing inequality and monotonicity in $\alpha$. We thereby also give new proofs for the corresponding finite-dimensional properties. We discuss the limiting cases $\alpha\to \{\frac{1}{2},1,\infty\}$ leading to minus the logarithm of Uhlmann's fidelity, Umegaki's relative entropy, and the max-relative entropy, respectively. As a contribution that might be of independent interest, we derive a Riesz-Thorin theorem for Araki-Masuda $L_p$-spaces and an Araki-Lieb-Thirring inequality for states on von Neumann algebras.

A general proof of integer R\'enyi QNEC

hep-th · 2026-05-14 · accept · novelty 8.0

Proves integer Rényi QNEC by establishing log-convexity of Kosaki L^n norms under null-translation semigroups for σ-finite von Neumann algebras with half-sided modular inclusions, assuming only finite sandwiched Rényi divergence to the vacuum.

Hockey stick $f$-divergences

quant-ph · 2026-07-09 · accept · novelty 5.0

Quantum hockey stick f-divergences are extended to general von Neumann algebras, with regularized Rényi versions shown to coincide with standard Petz and sandwiched Rényi divergences.
