Lieb type convexity for positive operator monotone decreasing functions

We prove Lieb type convexity and concavity results for trace functionals associated with positive operator monotone (decreasing) functions and certain monotone concave functions. This gives a partial generalization of Hiai’s recent work on trace functionals associated with power functions.
