Monotone Matrix functions in several variables
In 1934, K. Loewner characterized functions that preserve matrix inequalities, i.e. those f with the property that whenever A and B are self-adjoint matrices of the same dimension, with $ A \leq B $, then $ f(A) \leq f(B) $. In this talk, I shall discuss how to characterize monotone matrix functions of several variables, namely functions f with the property that if $ A = (A_1, \dots , A_n) $ is an n-tuple of commuting self-adjoint matrices, and $ B = (B_1, \dots, B_n) $ is another, with each $ A_i \leq B_i $, then $ f(A) \leq f(B) $.
