Abstract Using techniques from algebraic topology we derive linear inequalities which relate the spectrum of a set of Hermitian matrices A 1 ,…, A r ϵ ¢ n×n with the spectrum of the sum A 1 + … + A r . These extend eigenvalue inequalities due to Freede‐Thompson and Horn for sums of eigenvalues of two Hermitian matrices.
