Some log and weak majorization inequalities in Euclidean Jordan algebras


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Motivated by Horns log-majorization (singular value) inequality $s(AB)underset{log}{prec} s(A)*s(B)$ and the related weak-majorization inequality $s(AB)underset{w}{prec} s(A)*s(B)$ for square complex matrices, we consider their Hermitian analogs $lambda(sqrt{A}Bsqrt{A}) underset{log}{prec} lambda(A)*lambda(B)$ for positive semidefinite matrices and $lambda(|Acirc B|) underset{w}{prec} lambda(|A|)*lambda(|B|)$ for general (Hermitian) matrices, where $Acirc B$ denotes the Jordan product of $A$ and $B$ and $*$ denotes the componentwise product in $R^n$. In this paper, we extended these inequalities to the setting of Euclidean Jordan algebras in the form $lambdabig (P_{sqrt{a}}(b)big )underset{log}{prec} lambda(a)*lambda(b)$ for $a,bgeq 0$ and $lambdabig (|acirc b|big )underset{w}{prec} lambda(|a|)*lambda(|b|)$ for all $a$ and $b$, where $P_u$ and $lambda(u)$ denote, respectively, the quadratic representation and the eigenvalue vector of an element $u$. We also describe inequalities of the form $lambda(|Abullet b|)underset{w}{prec} lambda({mathrm{diag}}(A))*lambda(|b|)$, where $A$ is a real symmetric positive semidefinite matrix and $A,bullet, b$ is the Schur product of $A$ and $b$. In the form of an application, we prove the generalized H{o}lder type inequality $||acirc b||_pleq ||a||_r,||b||_s$, where $||x||_p:=||lambda(x)||_p$ denotes the spectral $p$-norm of $x$ and $p,q,rin [1,infty]$ with $frac{1}{p}=frac{1}{r}+frac{1}{s}$. We also give precise values of the norms of the Lyapunov transformation $L_a$ and $P_a$ relative to two spectral $p$-norms.
