Summary: Let T:Lp(M)→Lp(N) be a bounded operator between
two noncommutative Lp-spaces, 1⩽.
We say that T is \ell^1-bounded (respectively
\ell^1-contractive) if T\otimes I_{\ell^1} extends to a bounded
(respectively contractive) map from
L^p(\mathcal M;\ell^1) into L^p(\mathcal N;\ell^1).
We show that Yeadon's factorization theorem for L^p-isometries,
1\leqslant p\not=2 <\infty, applies to an isometry T: L^2(\mathcal M)\to L^2(\mathcal N)
if and only if T is \ell^1-contractive. We also show that
a contractive operator T: L^p(\mathcal M)\to L^p(\mathcal N) is automatically
\ell^1-contractive if it satisfies one of the following two
conditions: either T is 2-positive; or T is separating, that is,
for any disjoint a,b\in L^p(\mathcal M) (i.e.\ a^*b=ab^*=0), the images
T(a),T(b) are disjoint as well.
