Operator convexity in Krein spaces
Abstract
We introduce the notion of Krein-operator convexity in the setting of Krein spaces. We present an indefinite version of the Jensen operator inequality on Krein spaces by showing that if is a Krein space, is an open set which is symmetric with respect to the real axis such that consists of a segment of real axis and is a Krein-operator convex function on with , then \begin{eqnarray*} f(C^{\sharp}AC)\leq^{J}C^{\sharp}f(A)C \end{eqnarray*} for all -positive operators and all invertible -contractions such that the spectra of , and are contained in , where is a defect operator for .\\ We also show that in contrast with usual operator convex functions the converse of this implication is not true, in general.
