Abstract: In this paper, we show that if $G$ by a non-elementary word hyperbolic group and $ainG$ an element, if the conjugacy class of $a$ is infinite, then all traces $au:C_{extred}^{\ast }(G)omathbbC$ vanish on $a$. We show that all traces $heta:C_{extred}^{\ast }(G)omathbbC$ are linear combinations of traces $ch{i}_g:C_{extred}^{\ast }(G)omathbbC$ given by [chi_{g}=�egin{cases} 1 & g in C(g) \ 0 & ext{else}end{cases}] where $C(g)$ is the conjugacy class of $g$. To do this, we introduce a new method to study traces, using Sobolev norms and property RD.
