Spectral flow and Dixmier traces (Q1865288)

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.
