For positive definite matrices $A$ and $B$, the Kubo-Ando matrix power mean is defined as $$ P_\mu(p, A, B) = A^{1/2}\left(\frac{1+(A^{-1/2}BA^{-1/2})^p}{2}\right )^{1/p} A^{1/2}\quad (p \ge 0). $$ In this paper, for $0\le p \le 1 \le q$,…

The generalization of the geometric mean of positive scalars to positive definite matrices has attracted considerable attention since the seminal work of Ando. The paper generalizes this framework of matrix means by proposing the definition…

In the 1980s, Kubo and Ando introduced operator means on $\mathbb{P}$, the open convex cone of positive definite operators. One significant example is the weighted geometric mean $$ A \sharp_{t} B = A^{1/2} (A^{-1/2} B A^{-1/2})^{t}…

Suppose that $X,Y$ are positive random variable and $m$ a numerical (commutative) mean. We prove that the inequality ${\rm E} (m(X,Y)) \leq m({\rm E} (X), {\rm E} (Y))$ holds if and only if the mean is generated by a concave function. With…

Let $\sigma$ be an operator mean in the sense of Kubo and Ando. If the representation function $f$ of $\sigma$ satisfies $f_\sigma (t)^p\le f_\sigma(t^p) \text{ for all } p>1,$ then the operator mean is called a pmi mean. Our main interest…

We introduce the notion of regular operator mappings of several variables generalising the notion of spectral function. This setting is convenient for studying maps more general than what can be obtained from the functional calculus, and it…

Inspired by the spin geometry theorem, two operators are defined which measure angles in the quantum theory of geometry. One operator assigns a discrete angle to every pair of surfaces passing through a single vertex of a spin network. This…

For operators defined on locally convex spaces we define the notions of boundedness and ergodicity associated to an infinite matrix. Given two matrices $ A$ and $ B$, we study when $ A$-bounded operators are $ B$-ergodic. Using this…

In \cite{molnar} L.~Molnar studied the question of whether the L\"owner partial order on the positive cone of an operator algebra is determined by the norm of any arbitrary Kubo-Ando mean. He affirmatively answered the question for certain…

The dominant method for defining multivariate operator means is to express them as fix-points under a contraction with respect to the Thompson metric. Although this method is powerful, it crucially depends on monotonicity. We are developing…
