For a noncommutative algebra \(\mathcal{A}\) and an antilinear automorphism \(\rho\) of \(\mathcal{A}\), there is a notion of a positive trace. In the case when \(\mathcal{A}\) is filtered, it has been proved that twisted traces satisfying a certain nondegeneracy condition correspond to short nondegenerate star-products on \(\mathrm{gr}\mathcal{A}\). Positive traces correspond to unitary short star-products. In the case when \(\mathcal{A}\) comes from a superconformal field theory, there is a certain unitary short star-product on \(\mathrm{gr}\mathcal{A}\) that reflects the properties of the corresponding field theory. In some cases, a positive trace is unique up to scaling, which allows one to compute the corresponding unitary short star-product.\N\NWhen one has a three-dimensional \(\mathcal{N} = 4\) gauge theory or four-dimensional \(\mathcal{N} = 2\) gauge theory compactified on a circle, classification of positive traces on its Coulomb branch \(\mathcal{A}\) can give a better understanding of this theory. The authors classify positive traces on \(\mathcal{A}\) in two cases. The first case is when \(\mathcal{A}\) is a quantization of a Kleinian singularity of type \(D\), with certain restriction on the quantization parameter. The second case is when \(\mathcal{A} = K^{\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C}[\![t]\!])\ltimes \mathbb{C}^{\times}_q} (\mathrm{Gr}_{\mathrm{PGL}_2})\) is an algebra containing \(K\)-theoretic Coulomb branches of pure \(\mathrm{SL}(2)\) and \(\mathrm{PGL}(2)\) gauge theories.
