We show that the existence of a finitely summable unbounded Fredholm module (h, D) on a C* algebra A implies the existence of a trace state on A and that no such module exists on the C* algebra of a non amenable discrete group. Both for the needs of non commutative differential geometry and of analysis in infinite dimension we are led to the better notion of the θ-summable Fredholm module.
