How to show Von Neumann Trace inequality $ text{Tr}(AB) leq sum_{i=1}^n sigma_{A,i}sigma_{B,i} $?

$begingroup$


Let $A,B$ have the appropriate size. How can we show Von Neumann Trace inequality $ text{Tr}(AB) leq sum_{i=1}^n sigma_{A,i}sigma_{B,i} $?



Also, what is the intuition behind this inequality?

    You need absolute values around the trace.

There is not a single, absolute "intuition" behind the inequality, because one can prove and interpret the inequality in different ways. In the following proof, one may say that the trace inequality is true because it is just a piling of a bunch of Cauchy-Schwarz inequalities.



Let us tackle the (more general) complex case here. Using the tracial property and singular value decomposition, one can reduce the inequality $|operatorname{tr}(AB)|lesum_isigma_i(A)sigma_i(B)$ to
$$
|operatorname{tr}(USV^ast D)|leoperatorname{tr}(SD)tag{1}
$$

where $U,V$ are any two unitary matrices and $S=operatorname{diag}(s_1,ldots,s_n), D=operatorname{diag}(d_1,ldots,d_n)$ are any two diagonal matrices with nonnegative and decreasing diagonal entries. Let $P_k$ denotes the orthogonal projection matrix $I_koplus0_{n-k}$. Note that $S$ is a non-negatively weighted combinations of the $P_i$s. In fact,
$$
S=(s_1-s_2)P_1+cdots+(s_{n-1}-s_n)P_{n-1}+s_nP_n
$$

and similarly for $D$. For convenience, let us write $S=sum_ka_kP_k$ and $D=sum_lb_lP_l$, where the $a_k$s and $b_l$s are nonnegative. The inequality $(1)$ thus becomes
$$
left|sum_{k,l}a_kb_loperatorname{tr}(UP_kV^ast P_l)right|
lesum_{k,l}a_kb_loperatorname{tr}(P_kP_l).tag{2}
$$

So, if we are able to prove that
$$
left|operatorname{tr}(UP_kV^ast P_l)right|
leoperatorname{tr}(P_kP_l)tag{3}
$$

for each pair of $k$ and $l$, then by triangle inequality, we obtain $(2)$ follows immediately.



To prove $(3)$, assume that $kle l$ (otherwise, interchange the roles of $k$ and $l$). Then the LHS of $(3)$ can be rewritten as $left|operatorname{tr}(UP_kV^ast P_l)right|=left|operatorname{tr}left((P_lVP_k)^ast (P_lUP_k)right)right|$ and hence $(3)$ becomes
$$
left|sum_{i=1}^k langle P_lu_i,,P_lv_irangleright|le k,tag{4}
$$

but this is obviously true because $P_l$ is an orthogonal projection and the columns of $U$ and $V$ are unit vectors.

I do not understand how you have changed the Von Nuemann to your trace inequality. I cannot see the steps? Could you elaborate that?

I stuck at this point: "Using the tracial property and singular value decomposition, one can reduce the inequality", How? I mean, How can you get this $|operatorname{tr}(USV^ast D)|leoperatorname{tr}(SD)$ from this $|operatorname{tr}(AB)|lesum_isigma_i(A)sigma_i(B)$? Let $A=U_ASV_A^ast$ and $B=U_BDV_B^ast$, so $|operatorname{tr}(U_ASV_A^ast U_BDV_B^ast)|=|operatorname{tr}(V_B^ast U_ASV_A^ast U_BD)|$. Is $U=V_B^ast U_A$ and $V=U_B^ast V_A$. Is that what you mean?

Where does this come from? $S=(s_1-s_2)P_1+cdots+(s_{n-1}-s_n)P_{n-1}+s_nP_n$
