Hanner's Inequality For Positive Semidefinite Matrices

We prove an analogous Hanner's Inequality of $L^p$ spaces for positive semidefinite matrices. Let $||X||_p=\text{Tr}[(X^\ast X)^{p/2}]^{1/p}$ denote the $p$-Schatten norm of a matrix $X\in M_{n\times n}(\mathbb{C})$. We show that the inequality $||X+Y||_p^p+||X-Y||_p^p\geq (||X||_p+||Y||_p)^p+(|||X||_p-||Y||_p|)^p$ holds for $1\leq p\leq 2$ and reverses for $p\geq 2$ when $X,Y\in M_{n\times n}(\mathbb{C})^+$. This was previously known in the $1更多
