### Two applications of nets

#### Abstract

Two applications of nets are given. The first is an extension of the Bochner integral to arbitrary locally convex spaces, leading to an integration theory of more general vector valued functions then in the classical approach by Gelfand and Pettis. The second application starts with the observation that an operator on a Hilbert space is trace class if and only if the net of "principal trace minors" converges. The notion of a "determinant class operator" then is defined as one for which the net of determinantal principal minors converges. It is shown that for a normal operator $A$ this condition coincides with $1-A$ being trace class.
