Let Aj (j = 1,2,...,n) be strict contractions on a Hilbert space. We study an n ◊ n operator-matrix: Hn(A1,A2,...,An) = ((I A jAi) 1 ) n=1. For the case n = 2, Hua (Inequalities involving determinants, Acta Math. Sinica, 5 (1955), 463-470 (in Chinese)) proved positivity, i.e., positive semi- definiteness of H2(A1,A2). This is, however, not always true for n = 3. First we generalize a known condition which guarantees positivity of Hn. Our main result is that positivity of Hn is preserved under the operator Mobius map of the open unit disc D of strict contractions.
