Interpolating inequalities related to a recent result of Audenaert

Audenaert recently obtained an inequality for unitarily invariant norms that interpolates between the arithmetic–geometric mean inequality and the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality for matrices. A refined version of Audenaert’s inequality for the Hilbert–Schmidt norm is given. Other interpolating inequalities for unitarily invariant norms are also presented.     

Operator inequalities of Hölder type for unitarily invariant norms

The aim of this work is to present some Hölder-type inequalities for sums and products of operators related to unitarily invariant norms. These results generalize some known Hölder inequalities for operators.

     

Norm equalities and inequalities for operator matrices

Several norm equalities and inequalities for operator matrices are proved in this paper. These results, which depend on the structure of circulant and skew circulant operator matrices, include pinching type inequalities for weakly unitarily invariant norms.     

Inequalities for hadamard product and unitarily invariant norms of matrices

The paper contains some general theorems for Hadamard product of matrices which in particular include Fiedler's Theorem and a better bound for an inequality on product of eigenvalues of certain matrices due to Ando. Lieb's concavity Theorem has been proved using operator means. Some inequalities for unitarily invariant norms have also been proved.

Heinz-type numerical radii inequalities

The main aim of this article is to present inequalities for the numerical radius of commutators of positive matrices. Some of these inequalities are analogues of known inequalities for unitarily invariant norms. In particular, variants, but weaker forms, of the well-known Heinz inequality and its generalizations are extended to the context of numerical radius.     

Norm inequalities for the spectral spread of Hermitian operators

In this work, we introduce a new measure for the dispersion of the spectral scale of a Hermitian (self-adjoint) operator acting on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space that we call spectral spread. Then, we obtain some submajorization inequalities involving the spectral spread of self-adjoint operators, that are related to Tao's inequalities for anti-diagonal blocks of positive operators, Kittaneh's commutator inequalities for positive operators and also related to the arithmetic–geometric mean inequality. In turn, these submajorization relations imply inequalities for unitarily invariant norms (in the compact case).     

Norm inequalities for matrix geometric means of positive definite matrices

We obtain eigenvalue inequalities for matrix geometric means of positive definite matrices. This implies matrix norm inequalities for unitarily invariant norms, which are considered as complementary to a series of norm inequalities among geometric means. We give complements of the Ando–Hiai type inequality for the Karcher mean by means of the generalized Kantorovich constant. Finally, we consider the monotonicity of the eigenvalue function for the Karcher mean.     

Norm inequalities related to the arithmetic–geometric mean inequalities for positive semidefinite matrices

In this paper, we propose three new matrix versions of the arithmetic–geometric mean inequality for unitarily invariant norms, which stem from the fact that the Heinz mean of two positive real numbers interpolates between the geometric and arithmetic means of these numbers. Related trace inequalities are also presented.     

Norm equalities and inequalities for three circulant operator matrices

In this paper, three new circulant operator matrices, scaled circulant operator matrices, diag-circulant operator matrices and retrocirculant operator matrices, are given respectively. Several norm equalities and inequalities for these operator matrices are proved. We show the special cases for norm equalities and inequalities, such as the usual operator norm and the Schatten p-norm. Pinching type inequality is also given for weakly unitarily invariant norms. These results are closely related to the nice structure of these special operator matrices. Furthermore, some special cases and specific examples are also considered.     

On orthogonal projectors induced by compact groups and Haar measures

We study the difference of two orthogonal projectors induced by compact groups of linear operators acting on a vector space. An upper bound for the difference is derived using the Haar measures of the groups. A particular attention is paid to finite groups. Some applications are given for complex matrices and unitarily invariant norms. Majorization inequalities of Fan and Hoffmann and of Causey are rediscovered.     

Some singular value and unitarily invariant norm inequalities for Hilbert space operators

In this paper, we prove some singular value inequalities for sum and product of operators. Also, we obtain several generalizations of recent inequalities. Moreover, as applications we establish some unitarily invariant norm and trace inequalities for operators which provide refinements of previous results.     

Tracial gauge norms on finite von Neumann algebras satisfying the weak Dixmier property

In this paper we set up a representation theorem for tracial gauge norms on finite von Neumann algebras satisfying the weak Dixmier property in terms of Ky Fan norms. Examples of tracial gauge norms on finite von Neumann algebras satisfying the weak Dixmier property include unitarily invariant norms on finite factors (type II₁ factors and Mn(C)) and symmetric gauge norms on L^∞[0,1] and Cn. As the first application, we obtain that the class of unitarily invariant norms on a type II₁ factor coincides with the class of symmetric gauge norms on L^∞[0,1] and von Neumann's classical result [J. von Neumann, Some matrix-inequalities and metrization of matrix-space, Tomsk. Univ. Rev. 1 (1937) 286-300] on unitarily invariant norms on Mn(C). As the second application, Ky Fan's dominance theorem [Ky Fan, Maximum properties and inequalities for the eigenvalues of completely continuous operators, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 37 (1951) 760-766] is obtained for finite von Neumann algebras satisfying the weak Dixmier property. As the third application, some classical results in non-commutative Lp-theory (e.g., non-commutative Hölder's inequality, duality and reflexivity of non-commutative Lp-spaces) are obtained for general unitarily invariant norms on finite factors. We also investigate the extreme points of N(M), the convex compact set (in the pointwise weak topology) of normalized unitarily invariant norms (the norm of the identity operator is 1) on a finite factor M. We obtain all extreme points of N(M₂(C)) and some extreme points of N(Mn(C)) (n?3). For a type II₁ factor M, we prove that if t (0?t?1) is a rational number then the Ky Fan tth norm is an extreme point of N(M).     

On square roots of isometries

Abstract

In various normed spaces we answer the question of when a given isometry is a square of some isometry. In particular, we consider (real and complex) matrix spaces equipped with unitarily invariant norms and unitary congruence invariant norms, as well as some infinite dimensional spaces illustrating the difference between finite and infinite dimensions.     

Matrix semigroups determined by unitarily invariant norms

The purpose of this paper is to study the structure of the matrix semigroups defined by unitarily invariant norms and, equivalently, those defined by arbitrary ellipsoidal norms. Among other things it is found that when an element of such a semigroup has a semi-inverse, the semi-inverse is unique, and, in the case of unitarily invariant norms, this is the Moore-Penrose generalized inverse. The symmetric gauge functions that determine submultiplicative matrix norms are characterized, and these norms are related to the spectral norm.     

Approximation of Matrices and a Family of Gander Methods for Polar Decomposition

Two matrix approximation problems are considered: approximation of a rectangular complex matrix by subunitary matrices with respect to unitarily invariant norms and a minimal rank approximation with respect to the spectral norm. A characterization of a subunitary approximant of a square matrix with respect to the Schatten norms, given by Maher, is extended to the case of rectangular matrices and arbitrary unitarily invariant norms. Iterative methods, based on the family of Gander methods and on Higham’s scaled method for polar decomposition of a matrix, are proposed for computing subunitary and minimal rank approximants. Properties of Gander methods are investigated in details. AMS subject classification (2000) 65F30, 15A18     

Some inequalities for commutators and an application to spectral variation. II

Inequalities that compare unitarily invariant norms of A - B and those of AΓ - ΓB and Γ^-1A - B Γ^-1 are obtained, where both A and B are either Hermitian or unitary or normal operators and Γ is a positive definite operator in a complex separable Hilbert space. These inequalities are then applied to derive bounds for spectral variation of diagonalisable matrices. Our new bounds improve substantially previously published bounds.     

Normal operators and inequalities in norm ideals

In this work we characterize normal invertible operators via inequalities with unitarily invariant norm of elementary operators.     

On the existence of unitarily invariant norm under some conditions

Let r ₁, …, r _m be positive real numbers and A ₁, …, A _m be n × n matrices with complex entries. In this article, we present a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a unitarily invariant norm ‖·‖, such that ‖A _i ‖ = r _i , for i = 1, …, m. Then we identify the greatest unitarily invariant norm which satisfies this condition. Using this, we get an approximation of unitarily invariant norms. Although the minimum unitarily invariant norm which satisfies this condition does not exist in general, we find conditions over A _i s and r _i s which are sufficient for the existence of such a norm. Finally, we get a characterization of unitarily invariant norms.
