Reverse and improved inequalities for operator monotone functions

In this paper we provide several refinements and reverse operator inequalities for operator monotone functions in Hilbert spaces. We also obtain refinements and a reverse of Lowner-Heinz celebrated inequality that holds in the case of power function.

Strengthened convexity of positive operator monotone decreasing functions

We prove a strengthened form of convexity for operator monotone decreasing positive functions defined on the positive real numbers. This extends Ando and Hiai's work to allow arbitrary positive maps instead of states (or the identity map), and functional calculus by operator monotone functions defined on the positive real numbers instead of the logarithmic function.
