Norm inequalities for weighted power means of operators (Q5957192)

Let \(A_{i}\), \(X_{i}\) and \(Y_{i}\) be bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space for \(i=1,2,\dots ,n\). In the present paper, the authors prove the following norm inequalities:NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINE(i) If \(\sum_{i=1}^{n}X^{*}_{i}X_{i}\leq I\), \(\sum_{i=1}^{n}Y^{*}_{i}Y_{ i}\leq I\) and \(r\geq 1\), then NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg |\sum_{i =1}^{n} X_{i}^{*}A_{i}Y_{i}\Bigg|^r \Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|^{2} \leq \Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg |\sum_{i=1}^{n} X_{i}^{*}|A_{i}^{*}|^{r}X_{i} \Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\sum_{i=1}^{n} Y_{i}^{*}|A_{i}|^{r}Y_{i}\Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|NEWLINE\]NEWLINE for every unitarily invariant norm \(|||\cdot|||\) (here \(|A|\) denotes the positive operator \(|A|= (A^*A)^{1/2})\). In particular, if \(A_{i}\) is normal for \(i=1,2, \dots ,n\), then NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\sum_{i=1}^{n} X_{i}^{*}A_{i}X_{i} \Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\leq \Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\sum_{i=1}^{n} X_{i}^{*}|A_{i}|^{r}X_{i}\Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|NEWLINE\]NEWLINE for every unitarily invariant norm.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINE(ii) If \(X_{i}\) is a contraction and \(\alpha_{i}\in (0,1)\) for \(i=1,2,\dots , n\) with \(\sum_{i=1}^{n}\alpha_{i} =1\) and \(r \geq 2\). Then NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\sum_{i=1}^{n} \alpha_{i} A_{i}X_{i}\Bigg|^{r}\Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\leq \Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\sum_{i=1}^{n} \alpha_{i} X_{i}^{*}|A_{i}|^{r}X_{i} \Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|\Bigg|NEWLINE\]NEWLINE for every unitarily invariant norm.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThese are extensions of the inequality by \textit{D. Jocić} [J. Funct. Anal. 145, 24-34 (1997; Zbl 0963.47006)]. Moreover, the authors obtain equality conditions in the above inequalities for Schatten \(p\)-norms.
