This is an announcement for the paper "Rademacher averages on noncommutative symmetric spaces" by Christian Le Merdy and Fedor Sukochev.

Abstract: Let E be a separable (or the dual of a separable) symmetric function space, let M be a semifinite von Neumann algebra and let E(M) be the associated noncommutative function space. Let $(\varepsilon_k)_k$ be a Rademacher sequence, on some probability space $\Omega$. For finite sequences $(x_k)_k of E(M), we consider the Rademacher averages $\sum_k \varepsilon_k\otimes x_k$ as elements of the noncommutative function space $E(L^\infty(\Omega)\otimes M)$ and study estimates for their norms $\Vert \sum_k \varepsilon_k \otimes x_k\Vert_E$ calculated in that space. We establish general Khintchine type inequalities in this context. Then we show that if E is 2-concave, the latter norm is equivalent to the infimum of $\Vert (\sum y_k^*y_k)^{\frac{1}{2}}\Vert + \Vert (\sum z_k z_k^*)^{\frac{1}{2}}\Vert$ over all $y_k,z_k$ in E(M) such that $x_k=y_k+z_k$ for any k. Dual estimates are given when E is 2-convex and has a non trivial upper Boyd index. We also study Rademacher averages for doubly indexed families of E(M).
