Abstract

For each fixed matrix size, we prove that the scalar tuple uniquely minimizes the mixed discriminant of positive semidefinite Hermitian matrices whose sum is the identity and whose individual traces are sufficiently close to one. This answers Question 1.7 of Gurvits--Leake, arXiv:2609.21083v2. The argument combines Gurvits's doubly stochastic uniqueness theorem with a positive constrained Hessian and compactness. We also record the exact region of positive definiteness of that Hessian at a scalar tuple. The global neighborhood in the theorem is qualitative and may depend on the size.
