For two hermitian matrices $A$ and $B$, Golden-Thompson inequality \cite{golden1965lower, thompson1965inequality} states that $$ \mathrm{tr}\left[ \exp{(A+B)} \right] \leq \mathrm{tr}\left[ \exp{(A)}\exp{(B)} \right]. $$ We elaborate here…
In this short paper, we give a complete and affirmative answer to a conjecture on matrix trace inequalities for the sum of positive semidefinite matrices. We also apply the obtained inequality to derive a kind of generalized Golden-Thompson…
The Golden-Thompson trace inequality which states that $Tr\, e^{H+K} \leq Tr\, e^H e^K$ has proved to be very useful in quantum statistical mechanics. Golden used it to show that the classical free energy is less than the quantum one. Here…
In this paper we present some reverses of the Golden-Thompson type inequalities: Let $H$ and $K$ be Hermitian matrices such that $ e^s e^H \preceq_{ols} e^K \preceq_{ols} e^t e^H$ for some scalars $s \leq t$, and $\alpha \in [0 , 1]$. Then…
There are various generalizations of the geometric mean $(a,b)\mapsto a^{1/2}b^{1/2}$ for $a,b\in \mathbb{R}^+$ to positive matrices, and we consider the standard positive geometric mean $(X,Y)\mapsto…
We prove several trace inequalities that extend the Araki Lieb Thirring (ALT) inequality, Golden Thompson (GT) inequality and logarithmic trace inequality to arbitrary many tensors. Our approaches rely on complex interpolation theory as…
We prove several trace inequalities that extend the Golden-Thompson and the Araki-Lieb-Thirring inequality to arbitrarily many matrices. In particular, we strengthen Lieb's triple matrix inequality. As an example application of our four…
We study concave trace functions of several operator variables and formulate and prove multivariate generalisations of the Golden-Thompson inequality. The obtained results imply that certain functionals in quantum statistical mechanics have…
Let $A,\;B$ be the positive semidefinite matrices. A matrix version of the famous Powers-St{\o}rmer's inequality $$2Tr(A^\alpha B^{1-\alpha})\geq Tr(A+B-|A-B|),\;\;\;0\leq\alpha\leq 1,$$ was proven by Audenaert et. al. We establish a…
We are concerned with log-majorization for matrices in connection with the multivariate Golden--Thompson trace inequality and the Karcher mean (i.e., a multivariate extension of the weighted geometric mean). We show an extension of Araki's…
The original Ando-Hiai and Golden-Thompson inequalities present comparisons for the operator geometric mean $\sharp_v$ when $0\leq v\leq 1.$ Our main target in this article is to study these celebrated inequalities for means other than the…
New proofs of the classical Hermite-Hadamard inequality are presented and several applications are given, including Hadamard-type inequalities for the functions, whose derivatives have inflection points or whose derivatives are convex.…
Let X and Y be two nxn Hermitian matrices. In the article "Proof of a conjectured exponential formula" (Linear and Multilinear Algebra (19) 1986, 187-197) R. C. Thompson proved that there exist two nxn unitary matrices U and V such that $$…
A class of 2x2 random-matrix models is introduced for which the Brody distribution is the exact eigenvalue spacing distribution. The matrix elements consist of constrained finite sums of an exponential random variable raised to various…
In literature the Hermite-Hadamard inequality was eligible for many reasons, one of the most surprising and interesting that the Hermite-Hadamard inequality combine the midpoint and trapezoid formulae in an inequality. In this work, a…
We give a very short proof of the Golden-Thompson inequality
We establish an analogue of the Grothendieck inequality where the rectangular matrix is replaced by a symmetric/Hermitian matrix and the bilinear form by a quadratic form. We call this the symmetric Grothendieck inequality; despite its…
We continue the study of the Hermitian random matrix ensemble with external source $\frac{1}{Z_n} e^{-n \Tr({1/2}M^2 -AM)} dM$ where $A$ has two distinct eigenvalues $\pm a$ of equal multiplicity. This model exhibits a phase transition for…
The classical Hermitian eigenvalue problem addresses the following question: What are the possible eigenvalues of the sum A+B of two Hermitian matrices A and B, provided we fix the eigenvalues of A and B. A systematic study of this problem…
A possibly fruitful extension of conventional random matrix ensembles is proposed by imposing symmetry constraints on conventional Hermitian matrices or parity-time- (PT-) symmetric matrices. To illustrate the main idea, we first study 2*2…
