Abstract: In this paper we prove a version of Connes' trace theorem for noncommutative tori of any dimension~ngeq2. This allows us to recover and improve earlier versions of this result in dimension n=2 and n=4 by Fathizadeh-Khalkhali. We also recover the Connes integration formula for flat noncommutative tori of McDonald-Sukochev-Zanin. As a further application we prove a curved version of this integration formula in terms of the Laplace-Beltrami operator defined by an arbitrary Riemannian metric. For the class of so-called self-compatible Riemannian metrics (including the conformally flat metrics of Connes-Tretkoff) this shows that Connes' noncommutative integral allows us to recover the Riemannian density. This exhibits a neat link between this notion of noncommutative integral and noncommutative measure theory in the sense of operator algebras. As an application of these results, we setup a natural notion of scalar curvature for curved noncommutative tori.
