Abstract: Let $mathcalAsubseteqmat$ be a unital $*$-subalgebra of the algebra $mat$ of all $nimesn$ complex matrices and let $B$ be an hermitian matrix. Let $U_n(B)$ denote the unitary orbit of $B$ in $mat$ and let $mathcal{E}_{m}athcalA$ denote the trace preserving conditional expectation onto $mathcalA$. We give an spectral characterization of the set ${\displaystyle }$ mathcal E_mathcal A(U_n(B))={mathcal E_mathcal A(U^* B U): Uin mat, ext{unitary matrix}}.${\displaystyle }$ We obtain a similar result for the contractive orbit of a positive semi-definite matrix $B$. We then use these results to extend the notions of majorization and submajorization between self-adjoint matrices to spectral relations that come together with extended (non-commutative) Schur-Horn type theorems.
