Inequalities for trace/eigenvalues of product of multiple 2x2 matrices
Consider the matrix product $\prod_i^n A_i$,
where each $A_i$ is a $2\times2$ matrix having the form $A_i = \left( \begin{smallmatrix} \lambda + \alpha_i & -\beta_i \\ 1 & 0\end{smallmatrix}\...

An "almost" true inequality for Hermitian matrices
Let $A$ be an $N\times N$ Hermitian matrix. For $p+q$ even, consider the following inequality:
$$\frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^N (A^p)_{ii} (A^q)_{ii} \geq \Big(\frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^N (A^p)_{ii} \Big) \Big(\...
