On the spectral measure of the sum of elements in a finite von Neumann algebra
[ Abstract ]
Given two self-adjoint n×n matrices A and B with prescribed eigenvalues, the set of all possible spectral distributions for A+B has been conjectured by Horn and proved by Knutson, Tao, Klyachko and Totaro.
We address the same question when A and B have prescribed spectral measures but lie in an arbitrary II_1 factor, and we give elements of answers in terms of inequalities between the spectral measures. We explain the relation with the Connes embedding problem.
