This paper formulates Young-type inequalities for singular values (or s-numbers) and traces in the context of von Neumann algebras. In particular, it shown that if \t(⋅) is a faithful semifinite normal trace on a semifinite von Neumann algebra M and if p and q are positive real numbers for which p-1+q-1=1, then, for all positive operators a,b∈ M, \t(|ab|)≤ p-1\t(ap)+ q-1\t(bq), with equality holding (in the cases where p-1\t(ap)+ q-1\t(bq)<∞) if and only if bq=ap.
