Some operator and trace function convexity theorems

From MaRDI portal

Abstract: We consider convex trace functions Phip,q,s=Trace[(Aq/2BpAq/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 Aq/2BpAq/2 and convexity/concavity of the closely related trace functional Trace[Aq/2BpAq/2Cr]. 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.
