Non-commutative Hardy inequalities
  We extend Hardy's inequality from sequences of non-negative numbers to sequences of positive semi-definite operators if the parameter p satisfies 1<p<=2, and to operators under a trace for arbitrary p>1. Applications to trace functions are given. We introduce the tracial geometric mean and generalize Carleman's inequality.   Key words and phrases: Hardy's inequality, positive operator, trace function, geometric mean, Carleman's inequality.
