1. Introduction and Preliminaries. Throughout the paper, we denote by M a semi-finite von Neumann algebra acting on the Hilbert space H, with a normal faithful semi-finite trace r. We denote the identity in M by 1 and let V denote the projection lattice of M. We write p ~ q for p,q E V if p = u*u and q = uu* for some u E M. A closed densely defined linear operator x in H with the domain D (x) C H is said to be affiliated with M if for all unitary u that belong to the
commutant M' of M. If x is affiliated with M, then x is said to be r-measurable if for every e > 0 there exists a projection e E M such that e (H) C D (x) and r (1 — e) < e. The set of all r-measurable operators will be denoted by L0 (M,r), or, simply, L0 (M). The set L0 (M) is a *-algebra with sum and product being the respective closures of the algebraic sum and product; see [7]. A closed densely defined linear operator x admits a unique polar decomposition x = u \x\, where u is a partial isometry such that u*u = (ker x)L and uu* = imx (with imx = x (D (x)). We call r (x) = (ker x)L and I (x) = imx the left and right supports of x, respectively. Thus, I (x) ~ r (x). Note that I (x) (resp., r (x)) is the least projection e such that ex = x (resp., xe = x). If x is self-adjoint, then r (x) = I (x). This common projection is then said to be the support of x and denoted by s (x). For further details, we see [8].

Let M+ be the positive part of M. Set S+(M) = [x E M+ : r(s(x)) < and let S (M) be the linear span of S+ (M). Let
0 < p < to, the non-commutative Lp-space Lp(M, r) is the completion of
(S, H'Hp), where ||x||p = r(|x|p)p < to for each x E Lp (M,r). In addition, we put L^ (M,t) = M and denote by ||-||p (= ||-||) the usual operator norm. It is well known that Lp (M,r) are Banach spaces under ||-||p for
1 ^ p < to and they have a lot of expected properties of classical Lp-spaces. Let x be a r-measurable operator and t > 0. The "i-th singular number (or generalized s-number) of x" is defined by [5]
^t (%) = inf [||xe|| : e E P, t(1 - e) ^ t}.
Recall that a linear map $ is positive if $(X) is positive whenever X is positive. The celebrated Jensen inequality for operators [2] states that if X is a positive operator (self-adjointness is enough), $ is a positive linear map, and f is an operator monotone on the interval [0, to), then
$(/ (X)) ^ f ($(X)). (1)
In this paper, we prove the same result for measurable operators affiliated with a given von Neumann algebra. Furthermore, we use the technique of Zhao and Wu [11], via the notion of generalized singular numbers studied by Fack and Kosaki [5], to obtain generalizations of results in [11] for r-measurable operators case. The obtained inequalities improve known results in [9]. In addition, Audenaert in [1] obtained that if X and Y are two n x n matrices and 0 ^ v ^ 1, then for any unitarily invariant norm
HXY*|£ ^ HvX*X + (1 - V) Y*Y|| J(1 - V) X*X + ^||u. (2)
In the next section, we present a r-measurable version of (2).
2. Main Theorems. We need the following lemma [3, Theorem 5]:
Lemma 1. Let M be a von Neumann algebra on Hilbert space 'H and a function f : R+ ^ R+ be an operator monotone with respect to M. Then f (A) ^ f (B) for any pair of positive self-adjoint operators A, B affiliated with M, such that A ^ B.
We are ready to prove our promised extension of inequality (1).
Theorem 1. Let $ be a unital positive linear continuous map, f : R+ ^ R+ be an operator monotone function with respect to M
u
and x E S (M). Then
$(/ (*)) ^ f ($(aO).
Proof. We use the same strategy as in [4, Corollary 3.2]. Put xn = £x([o,™]). It is clear that xn is a increasing sequence of positive operators in M and converges nearly everywhere to x. Note that xn commute with x for every n. So, the convergence nearly everywhere of the sequence xn to x can be considered as in the commutative case. Therefore, for an operator monotone function f with respect to M, and thus continuous on R+, the sequence f (xn) converges nearly everywhere to f (x). By Lemma 1, since xn ^ xn+\ ^ ... ^ x, we also have
f (xn) ^ f (xn+1) ^ ... ^ f (x), and, since $ is a positive linear continuous map,
$(/ (xn)) ^ $(/ (xn+1)) ^ ... ^ $(/ (x)).
Consequently, $ (f (xn)) converge nearly everywhere to $ (f (x)). On the other hand, for every xn, by inequality (1), we have
$(/ M) ^ f ($(Xn)) ^ f ($(x)) .
Tending n ^ to, we obtain the desired inequality. □
The following result can be found in [10, Lemma 3.2]. Lemma 2. Let x,y E S(M) and z E M. Then, for every r > 0,
Hlx^rHi < ||p Ulzyyr||p.
Theorem 2. Let x,y E S(M) and z E M. Then, for every r > 0,
g(S,t) = \\|s1-W+T ||p\\lxl+tzyl-slr ||p
is log-convex on [-1,1] x [-1,1], hence is convex, and attains its minimum at (0, 0).
Proof. The function g is continuous and g(s,t) = g(-s, -1) (s,t E [0,1]). Thus, it is enough to show that
g (si,ti) ^ 2 [g (si + S2,ti + ¿2) + g (si - S2,ti - ¿2)}
where s1 ± s2,t1 ± t2 G [-1,1] x [-1,1]. Applying Lemma 2,
Ix1 -11 zy1+S1 f ||2 = \\lxt2 (x1 -t1-12 zy1+S1 - S2) yS2 ( ||p ^

Applying (3), (4), and the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality, we get

The proof is completed. □
Using this observation, we give the following corollary. Corollary. Let x,y E S(M) and z E M. Then, for every r > 0,

where 0 ^ s,t ^ 1.
Proof. If we replace s,t,x,y by 2s — 1, 2t — 1,x1 ,y1, respectively, in Theorem 2, we see that the function g (s,t) =

is jointly convex on [0,1] x [0,1] and attains its minimum at (|, |). Hence,

In addition, since the function g is continuous and convex on
[0,1] x [0,1], it follows that g attains its maximum at the vertices of the
square. Moreover, due to the symmetry, there are two possibilities for the
maximum. □

The Corollary can be regarded as an extension of [10, Corollary 3.4]. In the following result, we present a r-measurable version of the main result in [1]. We emphasize that the method of proof is completely different from the present proof in [6, Theorem 3.6].
Theorem 3. Let x,y be two r-measurable positive operators. Then
T(xy)2 ^ T(u x2 + (1 - V)y2) T((1 - u)x2 + V y2), (5)
for 0 ^ V ^ 1.
Proof. Note that the function f (u) = r (xuyi-u) is log-convex. Consequently, the function
g(u) = f (v)f (1 - ^)
is log-convex. Since g is symmetric with respect to v = 2, it follows that f (1/2) ^ f (u). This means
T (x1 y1 j ^ T (xv yi-u) T (xi-u yu) , - TO <V < TO.
Now, using Theorem 4, for 0 ^ v ^ 1, we infer
T (^X1 y 1 j ^ T(u X + (1 - V)y) T((1 - V)x + V y).
Replacing x and y by their squares, we get the desired inequality. □
Note that inequality (5) interpolates between the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality and Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for r-measurable operators. That is, for v = 0 we obtain the Cauchy-Schwarz type inequality
T(xy)2 ^ T(x2)T(y2),
while we obtain the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality
T(xv) ^ 2T(x2 + y2)
for v = 2.
Recently, Shao in [4, Theorem 3.1] obtained a refinement of the Young inequality
T (xvyi-v) + r0(r(x)2 - T(y)2) 2 ^ T (ux +(1 - u) y) (6)
where x,y G Li are positive operators, and r0 = min [u, 1 - v} with v G (0,1). We close this paper by improving (6).
Theorem 4. Let x,y G Li be positive operators and v G (0,1).
1) If 0 < v ^ i, then
ro( (r (xy))1 — (r (x)) + »((t (x)) 1 — (t (y)) *) + T (xi-vyr) ^ ^ T ((1 — V) X + uy).
(7)
2) If i <v < 1, then
ro((t (xy))4 — (t (x))2 + (1 — ^) ((t (x)) 1 — (t (y))2+ + T (xi-uyv) ^ T ((1 — U) X + uy).
(8)
Proof. We prove only (7) as (8) goes similarly. By [11, Lemma 1], we have
(1 — v) pt W + "Vt (y) >
^ ro[^t(xy)4 — ^t(x)2 J + v[y,t(x)2 — ^t(y) 2 J + Vt(x)1 v^t(y)v
where r = min {u, 1 — v} and r0 = min {2r, 1 — 2r}. Hence
T ((1 — v )x + uy) = (1 — V )t (x) + UT (y) =
(1 — V) Vt W + "Vt (y)
