Abstract: In this article, we obtain the precise range of the values of the parameter $alpha$ such that Petz-R'enyi $alpha$-relative entropy $D_{alpha}(ho||sigma)$ of two displaced thermal states is finite. More precisely, we prove that, given two displaced thermal states $ho$ and $sigma$ with inverse temperature parameters $r_1,r_2,dots,r_n$ and $s_1,s_2,dots,s_n$, respectively, we have [ D_{alpha}( ho||sigma)<infty Leftrightarrow alpha < min left{ frac{s_j}{s_j-r_j}: j in { 1, ldots , n } ext{ such that } r_j<s_j ight}, ] where we adopt the convention that the minimum of an empty set is equal to infinity. Along the way, we prove a special case of a conjecture of Seshdreesan, Lami and Wilde (J. Math. Phys. 59, 072204 (2018)).
