Abstract
Consider a unital \(C^*\)-algebra \(\mathcal {A}\). Let \(n\ge 2\) and let \(P_1, \cdots , P_n\) be projections in \(\mathcal {A}\) such that \(P_1 + \ldots +P_n=I\). We costruct \(\mathcal {P}_n:\mathcal {A}\rightarrow \mathcal {A}\) being a block projection operator given by the formula \(\mathcal {P}_n(X)=\sum _{k=1}^n P_kXP_k\) for all \(X\in \mathcal {A}\). For a weight \(\varphi \) on a von Neumann algebra \(\mathcal {A}\), we prove that \(\varphi \) is a trace if and only if \(\varphi (\mathcal {P}_2(A))=\varphi (A)\) for all \(A\in \mathcal {A}^+\). We also prove that if \(\mathcal {A}\) is a von Neumann algebra then for a normal semifinite weight \(\varphi \) on \(\mathcal {A}\) the following conditions are equivalent: (i) \(\varphi \) is a trace; (ii) \(\varphi ((A^{m/2}B^mA^{m/2} )^k)\le \varphi ((A^{k/2}B^kA^{k/2})^m)\) for all \(A, B\in \mathcal {A}^+\) and some numbers \(k,m \in \mathbb {R}\) such that \(k>m>0\); (iii) \(\varphi (|\mathcal {P}_n(A)|)\le \varphi (|A|)\) for all \(A\in \mathcal {A}\) and for all projections \(P_1, \ldots , P_n\in \mathcal {A}\). As a consequence, we obtain a criterions for commutativity of von Neumann algebras and \(C^*\)-algebras.
