If $Z_1,\dots,Z_r$ are complex $m\times m$-matrices, then let $\Phi(A_1,\dots,A_r):M_m(\mathbb{C})\rightarrow M_m(\mathbb{C})$ be the linear mapping defined by $\Phi(A_1,\dots,A_r)(X)=A_1XA_1^*+\dots+...

Assume that $A$ and $B$ are contractions, so $I-AA^T$ and $I-BB^T$ are positive-definite matrices. Let $C=(I-AB^T)^{-1}(I-AA^{T})(I-BA^{T})^{-1}$, and show that: $$Tr\left(\frac{1}{1-AA^T}\right)...
