Further results on the concavity of operator means. (English) Zbl 07835165

Summary: In this work, we provide some further refinements for the following concavity inequality \[ A \sigma B + C \sigma D \leq (A+C) \sigma (B+D) \] for positive invertible bounded linear operators \(A, B, C, D\) on a complex Hilbert space and for an operator mean \(\sigma\). To this end, we use the operator majorization intended for comparing two \(n + 1\)-tuples of pairs of operators, and prove a Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya-Karamata (HLPK) type theorem for the triangle map induced by \(\sigma\). Next, we apply a specification of the HLPK Theorem for \(n = 2\) in order to obtain the required refinements.
