Theoretic Description

AbstractLetMbe a closed manifold andα:π1(M) →Una representation. We give a purelyK-theoretic description of the associated element in theK-theory group ofMwith ℝ/ℤ-coefficients ([α] ∈K1(M; ℝ/ℤ)). To that end, it is convenient to describe the ℝ/ℤ-K-theory as a relativeK-theory of the unital inclusion of ℂ into a finite von Neumann algebraB. We use the following fact: there is, associated withα, a finite von Neumann algebraBtogether with a flat bundleℰ→Mwith fibersB, such thatEα⊗ℰis canonically isomorphic with ℂn⊗ℰ, whereEαdenotes the flat bundle with fiber ℂnassociated withα. We also discuss the spectral flow and rho type description of the pairing of the class [α] with theK-homology class of an elliptic selfadjoint (pseudo)-differential operatorDof order 1.

Let τ be a faithful semi-finite normal trace on a semi-finite von Neumann algebra, and f(t) be a convex function with f(0) = 0. The trace Jensen inequality states τ(f(a* xa)) ≤ τ(a* f(x)a) for a contraction a and a self-adjoint operator x. Under certain strict convexity assumption on f(t), we will study when this inequality reduces to the equality.

AbstractConsider the free orthogonal quantum groups $$O_N^+(F)$$ O N + ( F ) and free unitary quantum groups $$U_N^+(F)$$ U N + ( F ) with $$N \ge 3$$ N ≥ 3 . In the case $$F = \text {id}_N$$ F = id N it was proved both by Isono and Fima-Vergnioux that the associated finite von Neumann algebra $$L_\infty (O_N^+)$$ L ∞ ( O N + ) is strongly solid. Moreover, Isono obtains strong solidity also for $$L_\infty (U_N^+)$$ L ∞ ( U N + ) . In this paper we prove for general $$F \in GL_N(\mathbb {C})$$ F ∈ G L N ( C ) that the von Neumann algebras $$L_\infty (O_N^+(F))$$ L ∞ ( O N + ( F ) ) and $$L_\infty (U_N^+(F))$$ L ∞ ( U N + ( F ) ) are strongly solid. A crucial part in our proof is the study of coarse properties of gradient bimodules associated with Dirichlet forms on these algebras and constructions of derivations due to Cipriani–Sauvageot.

AbstractWe present a definition of spectral flow for any norm closed ideal J in any von Neumann algebra N. Given a path of selfadjoint operators in N which are invertible in N/J, the spectral flow produces a class in Ko(J).Given a semifinite spectral triple (A, H, D) relative to (N, τ) with A separable, we construct a class [D] ∈ KK1(A, K(N)). For a unitary u ∈ A, the von Neumann spectral flow between D and u*Du is equal to the Kasparov product [u]A[D], and is simply related to the numerical spectral flow, and a refined C*-spectral flow.

Bożejko and Speicher associated a finite von Neumann algebra M T to a self-adjoint operator T on a complex Hilbert space of the form $\mathcal {H}\otimes \mathcal {H}$ which satisfies the Yang–Baxter relation and $ \left\| T \right\| < 1$ . We show that if dim $(\mathcal {H})$ ⩾ 2, then M T is a factor when T admits an eigenvector of some special form.

AbstractLet α be an automorphism of a finite von Neumann algebra and let H(α) be its Connes-Størmer's entropy. We show that H(α) = 0 if α is the induced automorphism on the crossed product of a Lebesgue space by a pure point spectrum transformation. We also show that H is not continuous in α and we compute H(α) for some α.

In this note we prove that if G is a countable discrete group, then every uniformly bounded cocycle from a standard Borel G-space into a finite Von Neumann algebra is cohomologous to a unitary cocycle. This generalizes results of both F. H. Vasilescu and L. Zsidó and R. J. Zimmer.

Let [Formula: see text] be a semi-finite von Neumann algebra equipped with a faithful semi-finite normal trace τ, and f(t) be a convex function with f(0) = 0. The trace Jensen inequality in our previous work states τ(f(a*xa)) ≤ τ(a*f(x)a) (as long as the both sides are well-defined) for a contraction [Formula: see text] and a semi-bounded τ-measurable operator x. Validity of this inequality for (not necessarily semi-bounded) self-adjoint τ-measurable operators is investigated.

AbstractSome features of the notion of sufficiency in quantum statistics are investigated. Three kinds of this notion are considered: plain sufficiency (called simply: sufficiency), strong sufficiency and Umegaki’s sufficiency. It is shown that for a finite von Neumann algebra with a faithful family of normal states the minimal sufficient von Neumann subalgebra is sufficient in Umegaki’s sense. Moreover, a proper version of the factorization theorem of Jenčová and Petz is obtained. The structure of the minimal sufficient subalgebra is described in the case of pure states on the full algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space.

A Murray-von Neumann algebra is the algebra of operators affiliated with a finite von Neumann algebra. In this article, we study derivations of Murray-von Neumann algebras and their properties. We show that the "extended derivations" of a Murray-von Neumann algebra, those that map the associated finite von Neumann algebra into itself, are inner. In particular, we prove that the only derivation that maps a Murray-von Neumann algebra associated with a von Neumann algebra of type ${\rm II}_1$ into that von Neumann algebra is 0. This result is an extension, in two ways, of Singer's seminal result answering a question of Kaplansky, as applied to von Neumann algebras: the algebra may be non-commutative and contain unbounded elements. In another sense, as we indicate in the introduction, all the derivation results including ours extend what Singer's result says, that the derivation is the 0-mapping, numerically in our main theorem and cohomologically in our theorem on extended derivations. The cohomology in this case is the Hochschild cohomology for associative algebras.
