In mathematics, the Dixmier trace, introduced by Jacques Dixmier (1966), is a non-normal trace on a space of linear operators on a Hilbert space larger than the space of trace class operators.
Some of its applications to noncommutative geometry are described in (Connes 1994).

Passed over them—nor other trace I find
But as of foam after the ocean’s wrath”
