Abstract
In this paper, for $α\in(0,\infty)\setminus\{1\}$, $p>0$ and positive semidefinite matrices $A$ and $B$, we consider the quasi-extension $\mathcal{M}_{α,p}(A,B):=\mathcal{M}_α(A^p,B^p)^{1/p}$ of several $α$-weighted geometric type matrix means $\mathcal{M}_α(A,B)$ such as the $α$-weighted geometric mean in Kubo--Ando's sense, the Rényi mean, etc. The log-majorization $\mathcal{M}_{α,p}(A,B)\prec_{\log}\mathcal{N}_{α,q}(A,B)$ is examined for pairs $(\mathcal{M},\mathcal{N})$ of those $α$-weighted geometric type means. The joint concavity/convexity of the trace functions $\mathrm{Tr}\,\mathcal{M}_{α,p}$ is also discussed based on theory of quantum divergences.
