Abstract

We prove that the noncommutative Lorentz norm (associated to a semifinite von Neumann algebra) of a propagator of the form $\varphi(|\mathscr{L}|)$ can be estimated if the modulus of the Borel function $\varphi$ is bounded by a continuous positive monotonically decreasing function that vanishes at infinity $\psi$. As a consequence, we obtain the $L^p-L^q$ $(1<p\leqslant 2\leqslant q<+\infty)$ norm estimates for the solutions of heat, wave, and Schr\"odinger type equations (new in this setting) on a locally compact separable unimodular group $G$ by using a non-local integro-differential operator in time and any positive left invariant operator (maybe unbounded and with discrete or continuous spectrum) on $G$. We also provide asymptotic estimates (large-time behavior) for the solutions, which in some cases can be claimed to be sharp. Illustrative examples are given for several groups.
