The main goal of this paper is to discuss the recent advancements of operator means for accretive matrices in a more general setting. In particular, we present the general form governing the well established definition of geometric mean,…

A version of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality in operator theory is the following: for any two symmetric, positive definite matrices $A,B \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ and arbitrary $X \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ $$ \|AXB\| \leq \|A^2…

We study trace functions on the form $ t\to\tr f(A+tB) $ where $ f $ is a real function defined on the positive half-line, and $ A $ and $ B $ are matrices such that $ A $ is positive definite and $ B $ is positive semi-definite. If $ f $…

An oriented graph is said positively multiplicative when its adjacency matrix $A$ embeds in a matrix algebra admitting a basis $\mathsf{B}$ with nonnegative structure constants in which the matrix of the multiplication by $A$ coincides with…

Let $f \geq 0$ be operator monotone on $[0, \infty)$. In this paper we prove that for any unitarily-invariant norm $|||-|||$ on $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ and matrices $A, B, X \in M_n(\mathbb{C})$ with $A, B \geq 0$ and $|||X||| \leq 1$,…

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…

Let $E$ be a real vector space with dual space $E^*$ and let $C\subset E$ be a convex subset with more than one point. Let $f : C\to\mathbb{R}$ be a function satisfying a mild stability property at 'flat' points of the (relative) boundary…

Let $\mu \in {\cal E}'({\mathbb R}^n)$ be a compactly supported distribution such that its support is a convex set with non-empty interior. Let $X_2$ be a convex domain in ${\mathbb R}^n$, $X_1 = X_2 + supp \ \mu $. Assuming that a…

It is well-known that $AB$ and $BA$ are similar when $A$ and $B$ are complex square Hermitian matrices. In this note we answer a question of F. Zhang by demonstrating that similarity can fail if $A$ is Hermitian and $B$ is normal. Perhaps…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be locally compact Hausdorff spaces. We denote by $C_0^+(X)$ the positive cone of all real-valued continuous functions on $X$ vanishing at infinity. In this paper, we consider a bijection $T\colon C_0^+(X) \to C_0^+(Y)$…

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…

In this paper we give alternate proofs of some well-known matrix inequalities. In particular, we show that under certain conditions the inequality holds \begin{align}\sum \limits_{\lambda_i\in \mathrm{Spec}(ab^{T})}\mathrm{min}\{\log…

This short but self-contained survey presents a number of elegant matrix/operator inequalities for general convex or concave functions, obtained with a unitary orbit technique. Jensen, sub or super-additivity type inequalities are…

We refine Epstein's method to prove joint concavity/convexity of matrix trace functions of the extended Lieb type $Tr{\Phi(A^p)^{1/2}\Psi(B^q)\Phi(A^p)^{1/2}}^s$, where $\Phi$ and $\Psi$ are positive linear maps. By the same method combined…

We establishe an affine Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality concerning two different functions which is stronger than the classical Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality. Furthermore, we also prove reverse inequalities for the new…

It is well known that the sum of negative (positive) eigenvalues of some finite Hermitian matrix $V$ is concave (convex) with respect to $V$. Using the theory of the spectral shift function we generalize this property to self-adjoint…

We consider the following trace function on n-tuples of positive operators: \Phi_p(A_1,A_2,...,A_n) = Trace (\sum_{j=1}^n A_j^p)^{1/p} and prove that it is jointly concave for 0<p\le 1 and convex for p=2. We then derive from this a…

Some rearrangement inequalities for symmetric norms on matrices are given as well as related results for operator convex functions.

We show that a complex symmetric matrix of the form $A(Y,B) = \begin{bmatrix}Y & B\\ B^\top & \overline{Y} \end{bmatrix},$ where $B$ is Hermitian positive semidefinite, has a nonnegative hafnian. These are positive scalar multiples of…

If $E=\{e_i\}$ and $F=\{f_i\}$ are two 1-unconditional basic sequences in $L_1$ with $E$ $r$-concave and $F$ $p$-convex, for some $1\le r<p\le 2$, then the space of matrices $\{a_{i,j}\}$ with norm $\|\{a_{i,j}\}\|_{E(F)}=\big\|\sum_k…
