Abstract

Several convex mappings of linear operators on a Hilbert space into the real numbers are derived, an example being A {multimap} - Tr exp(L + In A). Some of these have applications to physics, specifically to the Wigner-Yanase-Dyson conjecture which is proved here and to the strong subadditivity of quantum mechanical entropy which will be proved elsewhere.
