Abstract
The Wigner-Yanase-Dyson-Lieb concavity is naturally captured in the frame of interpolation theory. Among other results, a certain generalization (involving operator monotone functions) of this concavity in the context of general von Neumann algebras is obtained. Also, a close relationship between the above subjects and F. Hansen's inequality is clarified. All results are proved by using simple variational expressions of involved quantities.
