Norm Ratios Under a Weak Order Relation in MmMn

icon-email Tsuyoshi Ando

Abstract

In the real Hilbert space of self-adjoint elements of the tensor product MmMn, there are two natural cones besides the cone P0 of positive semi-definite elements. The one is and the other is the cone P, dual to P+ with respect to the inner product. Then, P+P0P. A weak order relation is introduced by Our interest is in finding bounds for the ratio |||T|||/|||S||| for ST0, where |||||| is one of the operator norm, the trace norm, and the Hilbert-Schmidt norm. P+:=the convex hull of {XY; 0XMm, 0YMn} STdefSTP.
