Some generalizations of the DDVV and BW inequalities

Differential Geometry 2020-11-30 v2 Operator Algebras

Abstract

In this paper we generalize the known DDVV-type inequalities for real (skew-)symmetric and complex (skew-)Hermitian matrices to arbitrary real, complex and quaternionic matrices. Inspired by the Erd\H{o}s-Mordell inequality, we establish the DDVV-type inequalities for matrices in the subspaces spanned by a Clifford system or a Clifford algebra. We also generalize the B\"{o}ttcher-Wenzel inequality to quaternionic matrices.
