  Abstract:

Let $ varphi$ be a positive linear functional on the algebra of $ n times n$ complex matrices and $ p$, $ q$ be positive numbers such that $ frac{1}{p}+frac{1}{q}=1$. We prove that if for any pair $ A$, $ B$ of positive semi-definite $ n times n$ matrices the inequality

$displaystyle varphi (vert ABvert) le frac{varphi (A^p)}{p} + frac{varphi (B^q)}{q} $
holds, then $ varphi$ is a positive scalar multiple of the trace. ;
