The sharp Fischer-type determinantal inequality for accretive-dissipative matrices

At least 13 years old · documented by

Let A∈Mn(C)A\in \mathbb{M}_{n}(\bold C) be an accretive-dissipative matrix, partitioned as

A=(A11A12A21A22),A=\begin{pmatrix}A_{11}&A_{12}\\A_{21}&A_{22}\end{pmatrix},

where A11A_{11} is an m×mm\times m principal block and A22A_{22} is the complementary block. Sharp Fischer-type determinantal inequality. One should have

∣det⁡A∣≤2m∣det⁡A11∣ ∣det⁡A22∣.|\det A|\leq 2^m|\det A_{11}|\,|\det A_{22}|.

The preceding argument proves the same inequality with the larger factor 23m/22^{3m/2}, so this conjecture asks whether the constant can be reduced to 2m2^m.
