Title:  Positive Semidefinite Block Matrices and Norm Inequalities

 

Abstract:  Positive semidefinite block matrices occur as an efficient tool in matrix analysis and quantum information theory. In particular, those partitioned in two by two blocks allow to derive a lot of important norm inequalities. Hiroshima's 2003 result, which provides a majorization criteria for distillability of a bipartite quantum state, sheds light on an interesting norm inequality in matrix analysis. In this talk, we will discuss some extension of this inequality. Furthermore, we will constructively provide a counter-example of Bourin--Lee--Lin's conjecture.
