Spectral flow and Dixmier traces (Q1865288): Difference between revisions

The authors show how the Dixmier trace can be calculated in terms of the asymptotics of the zeta function and of the heat operator in a general semi-finite von Neumann algebra. As applications, they deduce a formula for the Chern character of an odd \({\mathcal L}^{(1,\infty)}\)-summable Breuer-Fredholm module in terms of a Hochschild 1-cycle and explain how to derive a Wodzicki residue for pseudo-differential operators along the orbits of an ergodic \({\mathbb R}^n\)-action on a compact space.
