Abstract

Let A=[EFFTG]A = \begin{bmatrix} E & F \\ F^T & G \end{bmatrix} be a 2n×2n2n \times 2n real positive definite matrix, where E,F,E, F, and GG are n×nn \times n blocks. It is shown that  d(EG)wd(A)\ d(E \oplus G) \prec^w d(A). Here d(A)d(A) denotes the nn-vector consisting of the symplectic eigenvalues of AA arranged in the non-decreasing order. We also observe the following weak supermajorization relation, which is interesting on its own: λ((C(G)1/2C(E)C(G)1/2)1/2)wλ((G1/2EG1/2)1/2) \lambda \left( \left(\mathscr{C}(G)^{1/2} \mathscr{C}(E) \mathscr{C}(G)^{1/2}\right)^{1/2} \right) \prec^w \lambda \left( \left(G^{1/2} E G^{1/2} \right)^{1/2} \right). Here λ((G1/2EG1/2)1/2)\lambda \left( \left( G^{1/2}E G^{1/2} \right)^{1/2} \right) denotes the nn-vector with entries given by the eigenvalues of (G1/2EG1/2)1/2\left( G^{1/2}E G^{1/2} \right)^{1/2} in the non-decreasing order.
