On Von Neumann’s Inequality for Matrices of Complex Polynomials

Abstract

We prove that every matrix ( ) k n F M ∈  is associated with the smallest positive integer ( ) 1 d F ≠ such that ( ) d F F ∞ is always bigger than the sum of the operator norms of the Fourier coefficients of F. We establish some inequalities for matrices of complex polynomials. In application, we show that von Neumann’s inequality holds up to the constant 2 n for matrices of the algebra ( ) k n M  .
