Regarding the matrix inner product based on singular values, Lewis (1995) " The convex analysis of unitarily invariant matrix functions ""The convex analysis of unitarily invariant matrix functions" states the result by von neumannNeumann that $\langle X,Y \rangle \leq \langle \sigma_X ,\sigma_Y \rangle$. Does anyone know any easy proof or reference for it. i couldntI couldn't understand the reference cited in the paper.
