Abstract
We prove several trace inequalities that extend the Golden–Thompson and the Araki–Lieb–Thirring inequality to arbitrarily many matrices. In particular, we strengthen Lieb's triple matrix inequality. As an example application of our four matrix extension of the Golden–Thompson inequality, we prove remainder terms for the monotonicity of the quantum relative entropy and strong sub-additivity of the von Neumann entropy in terms of recoverability. We find the first explicit remainder terms that are tight in the commutative case. Our proofs rely on complex interpolation theory as well as asymptotic spectral pinching, providing a transparent approach to treat generic multivariate trace inequalities.

Lieb's talk at the "Beyond I.I.D. in Information Theory" workshop in Banff inspired us to derive an alternative proof for his triple matrix inequality. We thank Christian Majenz for allowing us to include his counterexample for a three matrix GT inequality without rotations. We would also like to thank Jürg Fröhlich, Aram W.
