Let $A$ and $B$ be positive-definite matrices of the same size. For any $t \ge 0$, define $$ u(t) := \mbox{trace}(A^{-1/2}e^{-tB} (AB+BA) e^{-tB}A^{-1/2}). $$ Question. What are necessary and ...

For matrices $A$ it is well known that the spectrum is invariant under transpose $\sigma(A^T) = \sigma(A)$. Furthermore, the spectrum of the adjoint matrix $\sigma(A^*) = \overline{ \sigma(A)}$ the ...
