    Let \(U\subset R^ N\) be an open region with infinite volume and -H the Dirichlet Laplacian of U, i.e. the self-adjoint operator on \(L^ 2(U)\) associated with the quadratic form closure of -\(\Delta\) initially defined on \(C_ c^{\infty}(U)\). The aim of this paper is to find geometrical conditions on U which are equivalent to \(tr[e^{-Ht}]<\infty.\) For this purpose the author proves several trace inequalities, e.g. if U satisfies some regularity condition then for all \(0<t<\infty\) \[ 2^{-N}(2\pi t)^{-N/2}\int_{u}e^{-8\pi^ 2N^ 2t/r(x)^ 2}\quad d^ Nx\leq tr[e^{-Ht}]\leq (2\pi t)^{-N/2}\int_{u}e^{-Nt/8c^ 2r(x)^ 2}\quad d^ Nx \] where \(r(x)=\min \{\| x-y\|: y\not\in U\}\).
