Abstract: In this article we consider means of positive bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space. We present a complete theory that provides a framework which extends the theory of the Karcher mean, its approximating matrix power means, and a large part of Kubo-Ando theory to arbitrary many variables, in fact, to the case of probability measures with bounded support on the cone of positive definite operators. This framework characterizes each operator mean extrinsically as unique solutions of generalized Karcher equations which are obtained by exchanging the matrix logarithm function in the Karcher equation to arbitrary operator monotone functions over the positive real half-line. If the underlying Hilbert space is finite dimensional, then these generalized Karcher equations are Riemannian gradients of convex combinations of strictly geodesically convex log-determinant divergence functions, hence these new means are the global minimizers of them, in analogue to the case of the Karcher mean as pointed out. Our framework is based on fundamental contraction results with respect to the Thompson metric, which provides us nonlinear contraction semigroups in the cone of positive definite operators that form a decreasing net approximating these operator means in the strong topology from above.
