Abstract
We present a construction of positive normalised singular traces on a wide class of principal ideals. The feature of our approach is a direct application of Hahn–Banach theorem on the level of traces. This allows us to avoid the mediation of some extended limiting functionals, used in the classical work of J. Dixmier.
