Abstract

LetH andK be lower-bounded self-adjoint operators whose form sum is denoted byH \(\hat + \) K. We show the norm inequality\(||e^{ - (H\hat + K)} ||\) ⩽ ∥(erH/2 erK erH/2)1/r ∥ forr > 0 and any symmetric norm ∥•∥. WhenH +K is essentially self-adjoint and eK is of trace class, we prove that (erH/2erKerH/2)1/r converges asr ↓ 0 to e−(H+K) in the trace norm.
