Generalized eigenvalue log-majorization conjecture for geometric means

From papers

Let A,B0A,B\geq0, let r,sRr,s\in\mathbb{R}, and for 0t10\leq t\leq1 define

Ar,tB=Ar/2(A1/2BA1/2)tAr/2.A\sharp_{r,t}B=A^{r/2}(A^{-1/2}BA^{-1/2})^tA^{r/2}.

Let λ(X)\lambda(X) denote the vector of eigenvalues of XX, arranged in decreasing order, and let log\prec_{\log} denote log-majorization.

Generalized geometric-mean conjecture. If 0t10\leq t\leq1, p1p\geq1, and either r,s1r,s\geq1 or r,s0r,s\leq0, then

λ((Ar,tB)p(As,1tB)p)logλ(Ap(r+s1)Bp).\lambda\left((A\sharp_{r,t}B)^p(A\sharp_{s,1-t}B)^p\right)\prec_{\log}\lambda\left(A^{p(r+s-1)}B^p\right).

The claim extends the paper’s established cases for restricted ranges of p,r,s,tp,r,s,t. No resolution is supplied in the provided text.
