Concavity of the trace of a matrix power

Let $B$ be an $n\times n$ matrix, and define $f$ to be the function that maps positive semidefinite (PSD) $n\times n$ matrices $A$ to real numbers by $$ f(A) = \mathrm{trace}( (B^*A^2B)^{1/3}). $$ …

Concavity of mixed volumes and mixed discriminants

For $n\times n$ symmetric matrices $A_1, \ldots, A_n$, the mixed discriminant $D(A_1, \ldots, A_n)$ can be defined as $1/n!$ times the coefficient of $t_1\ldots t_n$ in the homogeneous polynomial $\de …
