Streszczenie

Let (A,e) and (V,K) be an order-unit space and a base-norm space in spectral duality, as in noncommutative spectral theory of Alfsen and Shultz. Let t be a norm lower semicontinuous trace on A, and let φ be a nonnegative convex function on ℝ. It is shown that the mapping a → t(φ(a)) is convex on A. Moreover, the mapping is shown to be nondecreasing if so is φ. Some other similar statements concerning traces and real-valued functions are also obtained.
