The \(\lambda \)-function in the space of trace class operators



Abstract: Let C1(H) denote the space of all trace class operators on an arbitrary complex Hilbert space H. We prove that C1(H) satisfies the lambda-property, and we determine the form of the lambda-function of Aron and Lohman on the closed unit ball of C1(H) by showing that lambda (a) = frac{1 - |a|_1 + 2 |a|_{infty}}{2}, for every a in C1(H) with |a|1leq1. This is a non-commutative extension of the formula established by Aron and Lohman for ell1.


Let \(C_{1}(H)\) denote the space of all trace class operators on an arbitrary complex Hilbert space \(H\). The author proves that \(C_{1}(H)\) satisfies the \(\lambda\)-property introduced in [\textit{R. M. Aron} and \textit{R. H. Lohman}, Pac. J. Math. 127, No. 2, 209--231 (1987; Zbl 0662.46020)]. Moreover, he determines the form of the \(\lambda\)-function of Aron and Lohman on the closed unit ball of \(C_{1}(H)\) by showing that \[ \lambda(a)= \frac{1-\|a\|_{1}+ 2 \|a\|_{\infty}}{2} \] for every \(a\) in \(C_{1}(H)\) with \(\|a\|_{1} \leq 1\). This is a non-commutative extension of the formula established by Aron and Lohman for \(\ell_1\).
