Abstract
This paper resolves affirmatively Koplienko’s (Sib. Mat. Zh. 25:62–71, 1984) conjecture on existence of higher order spectral shift measures. Moreover, the paper establishes absolute continuity of these measures and, thus, existence of the higher order spectral shift functions. A spectral shift function of order n∈ℕ is the function η n =η n,H,V such that
for every sufficiently smooth function f, where H is a self-adjoint operator defined in a separable Hilbert space ℍ and V is a self-adjoint operator in the n-th Schatten-von Neumann ideal S n. Existence and summability of η 1 and η 2 were established by Krein (Mat. Sb. 33:597–626, 1953) and Koplienko (Sib. Mat. Zh. 25:62–71, 1984), respectively, whereas for n>2 the problem was unresolved. We show that η n,H,V exists, integrable, and
for some constant c n depending only on n∈ℕ. Our results for η n rely on estimates for multiple operator integrals obtained in this paper. Our method also applies to the general semi-finite von Neumann algebra setting of the perturbation theory.

Notes
Understood as \(\lim_{N\rightarrow\infty} \sum_{|l_{j}|\leq N,\; 0\leq j\leq n}\phi \bigl( \frac{l_{0}}{m}, \ldots, \frac{l_{n}}{m} \bigr) \, E_{l_{0}, m} x_{1} E_{l_{1}, m} x_{2} \cdots x_{n} E_{l_{n}, m}\).
Note that we do not imply boundedness of \(T_{\phi^{*}}\) from that of T ϕ . This is due to the fact that strong operator topology is not well compatible with duality, i.e., there is an example of a sequence of operators converging strongly such that the sequence of dual operators does not converge.
An element x∈M is called upper-triangular with respect to a family of pairwise orthogonal projections {E l } l∈ℤ if and only if E l xE m =0 for every l>m; it is called lower-triangular if and only if x ∗ is upper-triangular.
Note that θ approaches 0 as α runs to ∞; note also that \(\Vert T_{f^{[1]}} \Vert _{2} \leq 1\).
