Abstract
Let Ω be a second countable topological space and μ be a σ−finite measure on the Borel sets \({\mathcal{M}}\). Let T be a nuclear operator on \({L^p({\Omega},{\mathcal{M}},\mu) }\), 1 < p < ∞, in this work we establish a formula for the trace of T. A preliminary trace formula is established applying the general theory of traces on operator ideals introduced by Pietsch and a characterization of nuclear operators for σ−finite measures. We also use the Doob’s maximal theorem for martingales with the purpose of studying the kernel k(x, y) of T on the diagonal.
