Abstract: In this paper, we prove the convexity of trace functionals (A,B,C)mapsto ext{Tr}|B^{p}AC^{q}|^{s}, for parameters (p,q,s) that are best possible, where B and C are any n-by-n positive definite matrices, and A is any n-by-n matrix. We also obtain the monotonicity versions of trace functionals of this type. As applications, we extend some results in cite{HP12quasi,CFL16some} and resolve a conjecture in cite{RZ14} in the matrix setting. Other conjectures in cite{RZ14} will also be discussed. We also show that some related trace functionals are not concave in general. Such concavity results were expected to hold in different problems.
