Popis: We study integral operators on the space of square-integrable functions from a compact set, $X$, to a separable Hilbert space, $H$. The kernel of such an operator takes values in the ideal of Hilbert-Schmidt operators on $H$. We establish regularity conditions on the kernel under which the associated integral operator is trace class. First, we extend Mercer's theorem to operator-valued kernels by proving that a continuous, nonnegative-definite, Hermitian symmetric kernel defines a trace class integral operator on $L^2(X;H)$ under an additional assumption. Second, we show that a general operator-valued kernel that is defined on a compact set and that is H\"older continuous with H\"older exponent greater than a half is trace class provided that the operator-valued kernel is essentially bounded as a mapping into the space of trace class operators on $H$. Finally, when $\dim H < \infty$, we show that an analogous result also holds for matrix-valued kernels on the real line, provided that an additional exponential decay assumption holds.
