Spectral characterization of sums of commutators II Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • For countably generated ideals, script J sign, of B(), geometric stability is necessary for the canonical spectral characterization of sums of (script J sign, B( ))-commutators to hold. This answers a question raised by Dykema, Figiel, Weiss and Wodzicki. There are some ideals, script J sign, having quasi-nilpotent elements that are not sums of (script J sign, B())-commutators. Also, every trace on every geometrically stable ideal is a spectral trace.
