Inequalities for the Schatten p-Norm. IV (Q1088140)

We prove some inequalities for the Schatten p-norm of operators on a Hilbert space. It is shown, among other things, that if A, B, and X are operators such that \(A+B\geq | X|\) and \(A+B\geq | X^*|\), then \[ \| AX+XB\|^ p_ p+\| AX^*+X^*B\|^ p_ p\geq 2\| X\|^{2p}_{2p} \] for \(1\leq p<\infty\), and \[ \max (\| AX+XB\|,\quad \| AX^*+X^*B\|)\geq \| X\|^ 2. \] Also, for any three operators A, B, and X, \[ \| | A| X-X| B| \|^ 2_ 2+\| | A^*| X-X| B^*| \|^ 2_ 2\leq \| AX-XB\|^ 2_ 2+\| A^*X-XB^*\|^ 2_ 2. \] [For part III see ibid. 104, 307-310 (1986; Zbl 0595.47012).]
