Spectrum invariant under (generalised) transpose as operator on trace class operators

For matrices $A$ it is well known that the spectrum is invariant under transpose $\sigma(A^T) = \sigma(A)$. Furthermore, the spectrum of the adjoint matrix $\sigma(A^*) = \overline{ \sigma(A)}$ the ...

Trace-class operator satisfies $\sum |\lambda_n|<\infty$?

Here's an "exercise" which I thought should be easy, but which I find myself unable to do. Let $V$ be a Banach space. Recall that an operator $f:V\to V$ is trace-class if it is in the image of the ...

What is the trace of this operator in $L^\infty$ (if this question make sense)?

Let $\Omega$ be a closed domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$, and $\lambda$ the corresponding Lebesgue measure. We define in $(L^\infty(\Omega), \Vert \cdot \Vert_\infty)$ the following operator : \begin{array}{...

Nuclear vs Integral operators on Hilbert spaces

Consider the Hilbert space $L_2=L_2[0,1]$. Is it true that for each nuclear (trace-class) operator on $L_2$ there exists a function $K\in L_1(L_2)$ such that $$Tf = \int\limits_0^1 K(s) f(s) \,\mu(\...
