The small trace-norm perturbation conjecture for Hermitian matrix sequences

Let XnX_n be a Hermitian matrix of size nn, and let {Xn}nλf\{X_n\}_n\sim_\lambda f. Let YnY_n be a matrix sequence satisfying

Yn1=o(n).\|Y_n\|_1=o(n).

Small trace-norm perturbation conjecture. Then

{Xn+Yn}nλf.\{X_n+Y_n\}_n\sim_\lambda f.

This would strengthen known perturbation results for Hermitian matrix sequences, which require either a smaller trace-norm perturbation or additional uniform spectral-norm bounds. Its status is not resolved in the supplied source.
