Non-commutative $f$-divergence functional



Abstract: We introduce the non-commutative f-divergence functional Theta(widetildeA,widetildeB):=intTBtfrac12fleft(Bt−frac12AtBt−frac12ight)Btfrac12dmu(t) for an operator convex function f, where widetildeA=(At)tinT and widetildeB=(Bt)tinT are continuous fields of Hilbert space operators and study its properties. We establish some relations between the perspective of an operator convex function f and the non-commutative f-divergence functional. In particular, an operator extension of Csisz'{a}r's result regarding f-divergence functional is presented. As some applications, we establish a refinement of the Choi--Davis--Jensen operator inequality, obtain some unitarily invariant norm inequalities and give some results related to the Kullback--Leibler distance.
