Abstract: A conjecture posed by S. Hayajneh and F. Kittaneh claims that given A,B positive matrices, 0letle1, and any unitarily invariant norm it holds |||AtB1t+BtA1t|||le|||AtB1t+A1tBt|||. Recently, R. Bhatia proved the inequality for the case of the Frobenius norm and for tin[1/4;3/4]. In this paper, using complex methods we extend this result to complex values of the parameter t=z in the strip zinmathbbC:Re(z)in[1/4;3/4]. We give an elementary proof of the fact that equality holds for some z in the strip if and only if A and B commute. We also show a counterexample to the general conjecture by exhibiting a pair of positive matrices such that the claim does not hold for the uniform norm. Finally, we give a counterexample for a related singular value inequality given by sj(AtB1t+BtA1t)lesj(A+B), answering in the negative a question made by K. Audenaert and F. Kittaneh.
