Sharp Lower bound estimates for vector-valued and matrix-valued multipliers in L^p

We generalize the idea of a multiplier in two different ways and generalize a recent result of Geiss, Montomery-Smith and Saksman. First of all, we consider multipliers in the form of a vector acting on a scalar function. Using this technique we compute the sharp lower bound estimate for $L^p$ operator norm of a quadratic perturbation of the real part of the Ahlfors-Beurling operator. Secondly, we consider matrix-valued multipliers to obtain a new proof showing that the $L^p$ operator norm of the Ahlfors-Beurling operator is bounded below by p^*-1.
