Matsaev's conjecture for contractions on commutative LpL^p-spaces

Let 1<p<1<p<\infty with p2p\ne 2, let Ω\Omega be a measure space, and let TT be a contraction on Lp(Ω)L^p(\Omega). Let SS be the right shift on p\ell^p, defined by

S(a0,a1,a2,)=(0,a0,a1,a2,).S(a_0,a_1,a_2,\ldots)=(0,a_0,a_1,a_2,\ldots).

For a complex polynomial PP, write P(T)P(T) and P(S)P(S) for the corresponding polynomial operators. Matsaev's conjecture. One has

P(T)Lp(Ω)Lp(Ω)P(S)pp.\left\|P(T)\right\|_{L^p(\Omega)\to L^p(\Omega)}{\leqslant} \left\|P(S)\right\|_{\ell^p\to\ell^p}.

This is the classical commutative form of Matsaev's conjecture, introduced in 1971 and motivating its noncommutative analogue. The validity of the inequality is known for certain classes of contractions, while for all other values of pp it remains open for arbitrary contractions.
