Improvements on some partial trace inequalities for positive semidefinite block matrices (2111.14626v2)

Abstract: We study matrix inequalities involving partial traces for positive semidefinite block matrices. First of all, we present a new method to prove a celebrated result of Choi [Linear Algebra Appl. 516 (2017)]. Our method also allows us to prove a generalization of another result of Choi [Linear Multilinear Algebra 66 (2018)]. Furthermore, we shall give an improvement on a recent result of Li, Liu and Huang [Operators and Matrices 15 (2021)]. In addition, we include with some majorization inequalities involving partial traces for two by two block matrices, and also provide inequalities related to the unitarily invariant norms as well as the singular values, which can be viewed as slight extensions of two results of Lin [Linear Algebra Appl. 459 (2014)] and [Electronic J. Linear Algebra 31 (2016)].
