If f is a positive function on (0,∞) which is monotone of order n for every n in the sense of Löwner and if Φ 1 and Φ 2 are concave maps among positive definite matrices, then the following map involving tensor products:(A, B)↦ f [Φ 1 (A)− 1⊗ Φ 2 (B)]·(Φ 1 (A)⊗ I) is proved to be concave. If Φ 1 is affine, it is proved without use of positivity that the map (A, B)↦ f [Φ 1 (A)⊗ Φ 2 (B)− 1]·(Φ 1 (A)⊗ I) is convex. These yield the concavity of the map (A, B)↦ A 1− p⊗ B p (0< p⩽ 1)(Lieb's theorem) and the convexity of the map (A, B)↦ A 1+ p⊗ B− p (0< p⩽ 1), as well as the convexity of the map (A, B)↦(A· log [A])⊗ I− A⊗ log [B]. These concavity and convexity theorems are then applied to obtain unusual estimates, from above and below, for Hadamard products of positive definite matrices.
