Abstract

We give a short proof of a recent result of Drury on the positivity of a (Formula presented.) matrix of the form (Formula presented.) for any rectangular complex (or real) matrices (Formula presented.) so that the multiplication (Formula presented.) is compatible for all (Formula presented.) where (Formula presented.) denotes the trace norm. We then give a complete analysis of the problem when the trace norm is replaced by other unitarily invariant norms.
