Improvement on a Generalized Lieb's Concavity Theorem

Abstract: We show that Lieb's concavity theorem holds more generally for any unitary invariant matrix function

p h i : m a t h b f H_{+}^{n} i g h t a r r o w m a t h b b R_{+}^{n}

that is concave and satisfies H"older's inequality. Concretely, we prove the joint concavity of the function

on

m a t h b f H_{+}^{n} i m e s m a t h b f H_{+}^{m}

, for any

K i n m a t h b b C^{n i m e s m}

and any

s, p, q i n (0, 1], p + q l e q 1

. This result improves a recent work by Huang for a more specific class of

p h i

.
