Abstract: We consider convex trace functions $Ph{i}_{p,q,s}=Trace[(A^{q/2}{B}^p{A}^{q/2}{)}^s]$ where $A$ and $B$ are positive $nimesn$ matrices and ask when these functions are convex or concave. We also consider operator convexity/concavity of $A^{q/2}{B}^p{A}^{q/2}$ and convexity/concavity of the closely related trace functional $Trace[A^{q/2}{B}^p{A}^{q/2}{C}^r]$. For concavity, these questions are completely settled, thereby settling cases left open by Hiai, while the convexity questions are settled in many cases. As a consequence, the Audenaert-Datta R'enyi entropy conjectures are proved for some cases.
