Yuan and Leng (2007) gave a generalization of Ky Fan's determinantal inequality, which is a celebrated refinement of the fundamental Brunn-Minkowski inequality $(\det (A+B))^{1/n} \ge (\det A)^{1/n} +(\det B)^{1/n}$, where $A$ and $B$ are…

For a $m\times n$ matrix $B=(b_{ij})_{m\times n}$ with nonnegative entries $b_{ij}$ and any $k\times l-$submatrix $B_{ij}$ of $B$, let $a_{B_{ij}}$ and $g_{B_{ij}}$ denote the arithmetic mean and geometric mean of elements of $B_{ij}$…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a $C^*$-algebra and $\phi:\cA\to L(H)$ be a positive unital map. Then, for a convex function $f:I\to \mathbb{R}$ defined on some open interval and a self-adjoint element $a\in \mathcal{A}$ whose spectrum lies in $I$, we…

It is known that the eigenvalues of selfadjoint elements a,b,c with a+b+c=0 in the factor R^omega (ultrapower of the hyperfinite II1 factor) are characterized by a system of inequalities analogous to the classical Horn inequalities of…

Let $A \in \Omega_n$ be doubly-stochastic $n \times n$ matrix. Alexander Schrijver proved in 1998 the following remarkable inequality per(\widetilde{A}) \geq \prod_{1 \leq i,j \leq n} (1- A(i,j)); \widetilde{A}(i,j) =: A(i,j)(1-A(i,j)), 1…

We characterize ratios of permanents of (generalized) submatrices which are bounded on the set of all totally positive matrices. This provides a permanental analog of results of Fallat, Gekhtman, and Johnson [{\em Adv.\ Appl.\ Math.} {\bf…

The Deligne-Simpson problem in the multiplicative version is formulated like this: {\em give necessary and sufficient conditions for the choice of the conjugacy classes $C_j\in SL(n,{\bf C})$ so that there exist irreducible $(p+1)$-tuples…

We study the combinatorial and algebraic properties of Nonnegative Matrices. Our results are divided into three different categories. 1. We show a quantitative generalization of the 100 year-old Perron-Frobenius theorem, a fundamental…

In this paper, we present some extensions of the Young and Heinz inequalities for the Hilbert-Schmidt norm as well as any unitarily invariant norm. Furthermore, we give some inequalities dealing with matrices. More precisely, for two…

Let $F$ be a field and a finite $A\subset F$ be sufficiently small in terms of the characteristic $p$ of $F$ if $p>0$. We strengthen the "threshold" sum-product inequality $$|AA|^3 |A\pm A|^2 \gg |A|^6\,,\;\;\;\;\mbox{hence} \;\;…

For positive semi-definite block-matrix $M,$ we say that $M$ is P.S.D. and we write $M=\begin{pmatrix} A \& X\\ {X^*} \& B\end{pmatrix} \in {\mathbb{M}}\_{n+m}^+$, with $A\in {\mathbb{M}}\_n^+$, $B \in {\mathbb{M}}\_m^+.$ The focus is on…

The classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality states that for $A_1,A_2\subset\R^n$ compact, $$ |A_1+A_2|^{1/n}\ge |A_1|^{1/n}+|A_2|^{1/n}\eqno(1) $$ where $|\cdot|$ denotes the Lebesgue measure on $\R^n$. In 1986 V. Milman {\bf [Mil 1]}…

Schur's inequality for the sum of products of the differences of real numbers states that for $x,y,z,t\geq 0$, $x^t(x-y)(x-z) + y^t(y-z)(y-x) + z^t(z-x)(z-y) \geq 0$. In this paper we study a generalization of this inequality to more terms,…

Let $\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$ be the set of all $n \times n$ complex matrices. For any Hermitian positive semi-definite matrices $A$ and $B$ in $\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$, their new common upper bound less than $A+B-A:B$ is constructed, where…
