Numerical radius inequalities for tensor product of operators

Abstract

The two well-known numerical radius inequalities for the tensor product $A \otimes B$ acting on $\mathbb{H} \otimes \mathbb{K}$, where $A$ and $B$ are bounded linear operators defined on complex Hilbert spaces $\mathbb{H} $ and $ \mathbb{K},$ respectively are, $ \frac{1}{2} \|A\|\|B\| \leq w(A \otimes B) \leq \|A\|\|B\| $ and $w(A)w(B) \leq w(A \otimes B) \leq \min \{ w(A) \|B\|, w(B) \|A\| \}. $ In this article we develop new lower and upper bounds for the numerical radius $w(A \otimes B)$ of the tensor product $A \otimes B $ and study the equality conditions for those bounds.
