Abstract

My book ”Eigenvalues and s-Numbers” (1987) deals with classical traces of Banach space operators. Now an extension to singular traces is required. Hopefully, this (mostly) self-contained, comprehensive survey will serve that purpose. The second part is devoted to the future of the theory of traces. My mathematical heritage consists in a collection of open problems, which I was unable to solve. Good luck.
