A trace formula for functions of contractions and analytic operator Lipschitz functions

Abstract: In this note we study the problem of evaluating the trace of

f (T) - f (R)

, where

T

and

R

are contractions on Hilbert space with trace class difference, i.e.,

and

f

is a function analytic in the unit disk

B b b D

. It is well known that if

f

is an operator Lipschitz function analytic in

B b b D

, then

. The main result of the note says that there exists a function

(a spectral shift function) on the unit circle

B b b T

of class

L^{1} (B b b T)

such that the following trace formula holds:

, whenever

T

and

R

are contractions with

and

f

is an operator Lipschitz function analytic in

B b b D

.
