Traceability of positive integral operators in the absence of a metric (Q437728)

The traceability of positive integral operators on \(L^{2}(X,\mu)\) is investigated when \(X\) is a Hausdorff locally compact second countable space and is a non-degenerate, \(\sigma\)-finite and locally finite Borel measure. This setting includes other cases considered in the literature, for instance the one in which \(X\) is a compact metric space and \(\mu\) is a spatial finite measure. The results obtained here also apply to spheres, tori and other relevant subsets of the usual space \(\mathbb{R}^{m}\).
