Trace inequalities for logarithms and powers of J-Hermitian matrices (Q968990)

Spectral inequalities are stated for the trace of the exponential logarithmic of certain J-Hermitian matrices, \(J=I_{r}\oplus -I_{n-r},0<r<n\). The obtained inequalities are established in the context of indefinite inner product spaces, and they are known to be valid for Hilbert space operators or operator algebra. One of the author's results is the following: For certain class of J-Hermitian matrices, let \(A,B\) have eigenvalues \(\alpha _{1},\alpha _{2},\dots,\alpha _{n}\) and \(\beta _{1},\beta _{2},\dots,\beta _{n},\) respectively. If \(\alpha _{n}>\alpha _{1}\) and \ \(\beta _{r}>\beta _{r+1}\) (or \(\alpha _{r}>\alpha _{r+1}\) and \(\beta _{n}>\beta _{1}\)), then \[ \frac{Tr~e^{B}}{Tr~e^{A}}>\exp \left(\frac{Tr~((B-A)~e^{A})}{Tr~e^{A}}\right). \]
