Largest eigenvalue of matrix product $A^T B A$
$begingroup$
With $A in mathbb{S}^{d times d}_+$ (symmetric positive semi definite) and $B in mathbb{S}^{d times d}_{++}$ (symmetric positive definite), can we rewrite or upper bound $lambda_{max}(A^T B A)$ in terms of eigenvalues of $A$ and $B$?

For a quadratic positive semi-definite matrix $M$ we have $lambda_rm{max}(M) = | M |_2$, where $|cdot |_2$ is the operator norm corresponding to the euclidean norm. Since operator norms are submultiplicative:
$$lambda_rm{max}(A^T B A) = |A^T B A|_2 leq |A^T|_2 |B|_2 |A|_2 = lambda_rm{max}(A)^2 cdot lambda_rm{max}(B)$$
Equality can be easily achieved using diagonal matrices.
