Abstract

Let A be a C∗ -algebra, T be a locally compact Hausdorff space equipped with a probability measure P and let (At)t∈T be a continuous field of operators in A such that the function t↦At is norm continuous on T and the function t↦∥At∥ is integrable. Then the following equality including Bouchner integrals holds equation

T∣At−∫TAsdP∣∣2dP=∫T|At|2dP−∣∫TAtdP2.

This equality is related both to the notion of variance in statistics and to a characterization of inner product spaces. With this operator equality, we present some uniform norm and Schatten p-norm inequalities.
