Functions of perturbed noncommuting self-adjoint operators

Abstract

We consider functions $f(A,B)$ of noncommuting self-adjoint operators $A$ and $B$ that can be defined in terms of double operator integrals. We prove that if $f$ belongs to the Besov class $B_{\be,1}^1(\R^2)$, then we have the following Lipschitz type estimate in the trace norm: $\|f(A_1,B_1)-f(A_2,B_2)\|_{\bS_1}\le\const(\|A_1-A_2\|_{\bS_1}+\|B_1-B_2\|_{\bS_1})$. However, the condition $f\in B_{\be,1}^1(\R^2)$ does not imply the Lipschitz type estimate in the operator norm.
