Abstract:
The trace-class of a full Hilbert algebra A is the set $\tau (A) = \{ xy|x \in A,y \in A\}$. This set is shown to be a $\ast$-ideal of A, and possesses a norm $\tau$ defined in terms of a positive hermitian linear functional on $\tau (A)$. The norm $\tau$ is in general both incomplete and not an algebra norm, and is also not comparable with the Hilbert space norm $\left \|\right \|$ on $\tau (A)$. However, a one-sided ideal of $\tau (A)$ is closed with respect to one norm if and only if it is closed with respect to the other. The topological dual of $\tau (A)$ with respect to the norm $\tau$ is isometrically isomorphic to the set of left centralizers on A.References
