Abstract

We offer a new approach to trace formulae for functions of perturbed self-adjoint operators. We establish most general trace formulae in the case of perturbation of Schatten–von Neumann class Sm{\boldsymbol S}_m, where mm is a positive integer. We consider several special cases of our general trace formulae. In particular, as a special case we obtain the trace formula for the mmth operator Taylor polynomial. In the case m=1m=1 this corresponds to the Livshits–Krein trace formula, while in the case m=2m=2 this corresponds to the Koplienko trace formula. In the case of an arbitrary positive integer mm, the trace formula for the mmth operator Taylor polynomial was obtained recently in [25]. Our results allow us to essentially enlarge the class of functions, for which the trace formula obtained in [25] holds. Namely, we prove that it holds for functions in the Besov space B1m(R)B_{\infty1}^m(\Bbb R).
