Does ${\rm Tr}(l(a)+l(b)) ={\rm Tr}(l(\alpha_1 a +\alpha_2 b ))$ imply that $l(a)l(b)=r(a)r(b)=0$?

Let $H$ be a Hilbert space and let $a,b\in B(H)$ be such that $${\rm Tr}(l(a))={\rm Tr}(r(a))<\infty , {\rm Tr}(l(b))={\rm Tr}(r(b))<\infty,$$ $${\rm Tr}(l(a)+l(b)) ={\rm Tr}(l(\alpha_1 a +\...

On projection theory for inseparable Hilbert spaces

How can one see that $I$ is an infinite projection in $B(\mathcal{H})$, where $\mathcal{H}$ is an inseparable Hilbert space?
