Trace Class Groups
Journal of Lie Theory, Volume 26 (2016) no. 1, pp. 269-291
A representation $\pi$ of a locally compact group $G$ is called {\it trace class}, if for every test function $f$ the induced operator $\pi(f)$ is a trace class operator. The group $G$ is called {\it trace class}, if every $\pi\in\widehat G$ is trace class. In this paper we give a survey of what is known about trace class groups and ask for a simple criterion to decide whether a given group is trace class. We show that trace class groups are type I and give a criterion for semi-direct products to be trace class and show that a representation $\pi$ is trace class if and only if $\pi\otimes\pi'$ can be realized in the space of distributions.
