• Abstract: The Rényi quantum null energy condition conjectures that the second null shape variation of the sandwiched Rényi divergence (SRD) of an excited state relative to the vacuum is non-negative in local Poincaré-invariant quantum field theory, giving a one-parameter generalization of the quantum null energy condition (QNEC). We prove Rényi QNEC for all integer Rényi parameters $n\geq 2$ for von Neumann algebras carrying a half-sided modular inclusion structure. The only assumption on the excited state is finiteness of its SRD relative to the vacuum. Concretely, for any $σ$-finite von Neumann algebra with such an inclusion, we prove log-convexity, under the associated null-translation semigroup, of the Kosaki $L^n$ norm of any normal positive functional with finite $L^n$ norm.
