Non-linear traces on the algebra of compact operators and majorization

Abstract: We study non-linear traces of Choquet type and Sugeno type on the algebra of compact operators. They have certain partial additivities. We show that these partial additivities characterize non-linear traces of both Choquet type and Sugeno type respectively. There exists a close relation between non-linear traces of Choquet type and majorization theory. We study trace class operators for non-linear traces of Choquet type. More generally we discuss Schatten-von Neumann $p$-class operators for non-linear traces of Choquet type. We determine when they form Banach spaces. This is an attempt of non-commutative integration theory for non-linear traces of Choquet type on the algebra of compact operators. We also consider the triangle inequality for non-linear traces of Sugeno type.
