Monotonicity conjecture for Rényi generalizations of conditional quantum mutual information

From papers

Let ρABCS(HABC)++\rho_{ABC}\in\mathcal{S}(\mathcal{H}_{ABC})_{++}, τACS(HAC)++\tau_{AC}\in\mathcal{S}(\mathcal{H}_{AC})_{++}, θBCS(HBC)++\theta_{BC}\in\mathcal{S}(\mathcal{H}_{BC})_{++}, and ωCS(HC)++\omega_C\in\mathcal{S}(\mathcal{H}_C)_{++}. Let Δα\Delta_\alpha and Δ~α\widetilde{\Delta}_\alpha denote the Rényi core quantities derived from the families of quantities defined in the source. Monotonicity conjecture. All such Rényi core quantities are monotone non-decreasing in α\alpha: for 0αβ0\leq\alpha\leq\beta,

Δα(ρABC,τAC,ωC,θBC)Δβ(ρABC,τAC,ωC,θBC),\Delta_{\alpha}\left(\rho_{ABC},\tau_{AC},\omega_C,\theta_{BC}\right)\leq\Delta_{\beta}\left(\rho_{ABC},\tau_{AC},\omega_C,\theta_{BC}\right), Δ~α(ρABC,τAC,ωC,θBC)Δ~β(ρABC,τAC,ωC,θBC),\widetilde{\Delta}_{\alpha}\left(\rho_{ABC},\tau_{AC},\omega_C,\theta_{BC}\right)\leq\widetilde{\Delta}_{\beta}\left(\rho_{ABC},\tau_{AC},\omega_C,\theta_{BC}\right),

and analogous inequalities hold for all orderings of the last three arguments of Δα\Delta_\alpha and Δ~α\widetilde{\Delta}_\alpha. The conjecture concerns the Rényi generalizations of conditional quantum mutual information. It was proved for α\alpha in a neighborhood of one and in some other special cases, but remains open in general.
