Concavity of certain matrix trace and norm functions

Hiai, Fumio

Understand

We refine Epstein's method to prove joint concavity/convexity of matrix trace functions of the extended Lieb type $Tr{\Phi(A^p)^{1/2}\Psi(B^q)\Phi(A^p)^{1/2}}^s$, where $\Phi$ and $\Psi$ are positive linear maps.

  • By the same method combined with majorization technique, similar properties are proved for symmetric (anti-) norm functions of the form $||{\Phi(A^p)\sigma\Psi(B^q)}^s||$ involving an operator mean $\sigma$.
  • Carlen and Lieb's variational method is also used to improve the convexity property of norm functions $||\Phi(A^p)^s||$.
