Dixmier traces and extrapolation description of noncommutative Lorentz spaces

We study the connections between Dixmier traces, zeta-functions and traces of heat semigroups beyond the dual of the Macaev ideal and in the general context of semifinite von Neumann algebras. We show that the correct framework for this investigation is that of operator Lorentz spaces possessing an extrapolation description. We demonstrate the applicability of our results to Hormander-Weyl pseudo-differential calculus on R-n. In this context, we prove that the Dixmier trace of a pseudo-differential operator coincides with the 'Dixmier integral' of its symbol. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
