Nuclear Operator


A nuclear operator between Banach spaces X and Y is a bounded linear operator T:X->Y admitting a representation

 Tx=sum_(n=1)^inftyf_n(x)y_n

with f_n in X^*, y_n in Y, and sum_(n)||f_n||||y_n||<infty. Every nuclear operator is compact. On a Hilbert space, nuclear operators coincide with trace-class operators.
