dc.descriptionA simple, self-contained proof is presented for the concavity of the map (A,B) --> Tr(A^p K^* B^(1-p) K). The author makes no claim to originality; this note gives Lieb's original argument in its simplest, rather than its most general, form. A sketch of the chain of implications from this result to concavity of A --> Tr e^[K + log(A)] is then presented. An independent elementary proof is given for the joint convexity of the map (A,B,X) --> Tr \int X^* (A+ uI)^{-1} X (B+ uI)^{-1} du which plays a key role in entropy inequalities.
dc.descriptionVersion 3 contains Appendix C, which corrects some flaws in the presentation of the proof of the main theorem
