Abstract
Let the Cartesian decomposition of a complex n × n matrix T be T = A + iB with A, B Hermitian. Let αj and βj be the eigenvalues of A and B respectively ordered so that |α1| ≥ ⋯ ≥ |αn| and |β1| ≥ ⋯ ≥ |βn|. We prove that ∥diag(α1 + iβ1,⋯, αn + iβn)∥ ≤ √2∥Τ∥ for every unitarily invariant norm this settles affirmatively a conjecture of Ando and Bhatia (T. Ando, R. Bhatia, Eigenvalue inequalities associated with the cartesian decomposition, Linear and Multilinear Algebra 22 (1987) 133).
