Let \(A, B\) and \(C\) be \(2\times 2\) positive definite Hermitian matrices of derterminant one. The authors prove that the trace condition \(\mathrm{tr}(AB^{-1}) = \mathrm{tr}(AC^{-1}) = \mathrm{tr}(BC^{-1}) \) implies the Karcher mean \(\Lambda (A, B, C) = \frac {A + B + C} { \sqrt {\mathrm{det} (A + B + C)} }\) and the converse holds if \(A, B\) and \(C\) are linearly independent. If \(A, B\) and \(C\) are linearly dependent, then the Karcher mean \(\Lambda (A, B, C) = \frac {A + B + C} { \sqrt {\mathrm{det} (A + B + C)} }\) if and only if one of \(A, B\) and \(C\) is the geometric mean of the other two.
