    Annotation For a positive normal linear functional ϕ on a von Neumann algebra A , we prove that the following conditions are equivalent: (i) ϕ is tracial, (ii) |ϕ(Re(A2)| ≤ ϕ(|A|2) for all A ∈ A , and (iii) |ϕ(A2)| ≤ ϕ(|A|2) for all A ∈ A . Based on this result, we present some criteria for commutativity of a von Neumann algebra. For a trace ϕ on a C∗-algebra A , we prove that −ϕ(A2B2) ≤ ϕ((AB)2) ≤ ϕ(A2B2) for certain elements of A , and show that when ϕ is faithful, the equality in the second inequality is achieved if and only if AB = BA. Moreover, we partially generalize the Araki–Lieb–Thirring inequality to arbitrary traces on any C∗-algebras and to self-adjoint elements. Furthermore, we present a simple joint proof for Tr(AB) ? Tr(X∗X) ≤ Tr(A) Tr(B) ? Tr(X∗) Tr(X) provided that A XX∗ B is positive semidefinite, without using the fact that (X) = X + (Tr X)I is completely copositive, and then present a characterization of the trace on the full matrix algebra Mn.
