Lp-Nuclearity, traces, and Grothendieck-Lidskii formula on compact Lie groups

Abstract: Given a compact Lie group $G$, in this paper we give symbolic criteria for operators to be nuclear and r-nuclear on Lp-spaces, with applications to distribution of eigenvalues and trace formulae. Since criteria in terms of kernels are often not effective in view of Carleman's example, in this paper we adopt the symbolic point of view. The criteria here are given in terms of the concept of matrix symbols defined on the non-commutative analogue of the phase space $G\times\hat{G}$, where $\hat{G}$ is the unitary dual of $G$.
