Abstract: The strong subadditivity of entropy plays a key role in several areas of physics and mathematics. It states that the entropy S[ ho]= - Tr ( ho ln ho) of a density matrix ho_{123} on the product of three Hilbert spaces satisfies S[ ho_{123}] - S[ ho_{23}] leq S[ ho_{12}]- S[ ho_2]. We strengthen this to S[ ho_{123}] - S[ ho_{12}] leq sum_alpha n^alpha (S[ ho_{23}^alpha ] - S[ ho_2^alpha ]), where the n^alpha are weights and the ho_{23}^alpha are partitions of ho_{23}. Correspondingly, there is a strengthening of the theorem that the map A -> Tr exp[L + ln A] is concave. As applications we prove some monotonicity and convexity properties of the Wehrl entropy and entropy inequalities for quantum gases.
