Markov chains in smooth Banach spaces and Gromov hyperbolic metric spaces

Assaf Naor, Yuval Peres, Oded Schramm, Scott Sheffield

英文摘要:

A metric space $X$ has {\em Markov type} 2, if for any reversible finite-state Markov chain $\{Z_t\}$ (with $Z_0$ chosen according to the stationary distribution) and any map $f$ from the state space to $X$, the distance $D_t$ from $f(Z_0)$ to $f(Z_t)$ satisfies $\E(D_t^2) \le K^2 t \E(D_1^2)$ for some $K=K(X)<\infty$. This notion is due to K. Ball (1992), who showed its importance for the Lipschitz extension problem. However until now, only Hilbert space (and its bi-Lipschitz equivalents) were known to have Markov type 2. We show that every Banach space with modulus of smoothness of power type 2 (in particular, $L_p$ for $p>2$) has Markov type 2; this proves a conjecture of Ball. We also show that trees, hyperbolic groups and simply connected Riemannian manifolds of pinched negative curvature have Markov type 2. Our results are applied to settle several conjectures on Lipschitz extensions and embeddings. In particular, we answer a question posed by Johnson and Lindenstrauss in 1982, by showing that for $1<q<2<p<\infty$, any Lipschitz mapping from a subset of $L_p$ to $L_q$ has a Lipschitz extension defined on all of $L_p$.
