Spectral characterization of sums of commutators I

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Suppose CalJ is a two-sided quasi-Banach ideal of compact operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space CalH. We show that an operator TinCalJ can be expressed as finite linear combination of commutators [A,B] where AinCalJ and BinCalB(CalH) if and only its eigenvalues (lambdan) (arranged in decreasing order of absolute value, repeated according to algebraic multiplicity and augmented by zeros if necessary) satisfy the condition that the diagonal operator diagfrac1n(lambda1+cdots+lambdan) is a member of CalJ. This answers (for quasi-Banach ideals) a question raised by Dykema, Figiel, Weiss and Wodzicki.
