an element in $prod_n M_n(Bbb C)$

$begingroup$


I want to find an element $x=(x_n)in prod_nM_n(Bbb C)$ such that $lim operatorname{tr}_n(x_n)=0$ but $lim operatorname{tr}_n(x_n^*x_n)not to 0$,where $tr$ is the unique tracial state on $M_n(Bbb C)$.But I cannot think of an example for a while.I'll appreciate it anyone can help me.

          Consider the bounded sequence $(x_n)_{n=1}^infty$ given by
          $$
          begin{cases}
          x_{2n} := 1_n oplus (-1_n), \
          x_{2n+1} := 1_{2n+1}.
          end{cases}
          $$

          Then $mathrm{tr}_n(x_n) = 0$ for every even natural nuber $n$. Now, let $omega$ be a free ultrafilter such that $omega$ contains the set of all even natural numbers. Then you easily check that
          $$
          lim_omega mathrm{tr}_n(x_n) = 0,
          $$

          but
          $$
          lim_omega mathrm{tr}_n(x_n^*x_n) = 1.
          $$

          You can take $x_n$ to be the shift, that is $x_n=sum_{j=1}^n E_{j,j+1}$. Then $operatorname{tr}(x_n)=0$ for all $n$, while $operatorname{tr}(x_n^*x_n)=1-tfrac1n$. Then $$lim_{ntoinfty}operatorname{tr}(x_n^*x_n)=1,$$
          while $$operatorname{tr}(x_n)=0$$ for all $n$.
