Dimension-free trace commutator inequality
Dimension-free trace commutator inequality
Let and be positive definite matrices satisfying . Trace commutator conjecture. There exists a constant , independent of the dimensions of and , such that
The source says that numerical work suggests the sharper value , and gives a reduction to the corresponding inequality for arbitrary positive semidefinite matrices; neither the existence claim nor the sharp constant is resolved there.
