Abstract

The main result of the paper is that the Lifshits-Krein trace formula cannot be generalized to the case of functions of noncommuting self-adjoint operators. To prove this, we show that, for pairs (A1, B1) and (A2, B2) of bounded self-adjoint operators with trace class differences A2-A1 and B2-B1, it is impossible to estimate the modulus of the trace of the difference f (A2, B2) - f (A1, B1) in terms of the norm of f in the Lipschitz class.
