Milutin's Theorem states that if X and Y are uncountable metrizable compact Hausdorff spaces, then C(X) and C(Y) are isomorphic as Banach spaces [15, p. 379]. Thus there is only one isomorphism class of such Banach spaces. There is also an extensive theory of the Banach–Mazur distance between various classes of classical Banach spaces with the deepest results depending on probabilistic and asymptotic estimates [18]. Lindenstrauss, Haagerup and possibly others know that as Banach spaceswhere H is the infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, R is the injective II 1-factor on H, and ≈ denotes Banach space isomorphism. Haagerup informed us of this result, and suggested considering completely bounded isomorphisms; it is a pleasure to acknowledge his suggestion. We replace Banach space isomorphisms by completely bounded isomorphisms that preserve the linear structure and involution, but not the product. One of the two theorems of this paper is a strengthened version of the above result: if N is an injective von Neumann algebra with separable predual and not finite type I of bounded degree, then N is completely boundedly isomorphic to B(H). The methods used are similar to those in Banach space theory with complete boundedness needing a little care at various points in the argument. Extensive use is made of the conditional expectation available for injective algebras, and the methods do not apply to the interesting problems of completely bounded isomorphisms of non-injective von Neumann algebras (see [4] for a study of the completely bounded approximation property).

In (7) we proved maximal and pointwise ergodic theorems for transformations a of a von Neumann algebra which are linear positive and norm-reducing for both the operator norm ‖ ‖∞ and the integral norm ‖ ‖1 associated with a normal trace ρ on . Here we introduce a class of Banach spaces of unbounded operators, including the Lp spaces defined in (6), in which the transformations α reduce the norm, and in which the mean ergodic theorem holds; that is the averagesconverge in norm.

In [18], the author initiated an investigation of compact, Banach-module-valued derivations of C*-algebras. In collaboration with C. A. Akemann [3] and S.-K. Tsui [16], he determined the structure of all compact and weakly compact, A-valued derivations of a C*-algebra A, and of all compact, B(H)-valued derivations of a C*-subalgebra of B(H), the algebra of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H. In this paper, we begin the study of weakly compact, B(H)-valued derivations of C*-subalgebras of B(H).Let R be a C*-subalgebra of B(H), δ:R → B(H) a weakly compact derivation, i.e., a weakly compact linear map which hasSince δ has a unique weakly compact extension to a derivation of the closure of R in the weak operator topology (WOT) on B(H) (consult the proof of Theorem 3.1 of [16]), we may assume with no loss of generality that R is a von Neumann subalgebra of B(H). In this paper, we determine in Lemma 4.1 and Theorems 4.3 and 4.10 the structure of δ when R is type I, using I. E. Segal's multiplicity theory [14] for type I von Neumann algebras and results of E. Christensen [6], [7] on B(H)-valued derivations of von Neumann algebras.

Let X be a Banach space such that X* is a von Neumann algebra. We prove that X has the analytic Radon-Nikodym property (in short: ARNP). More precisely we show that for any function ƒ in H1(X) we have This implies the ARNP for X as well as for all the Banach spaces which are finitely representable in X. The proof uses a C*-algebraic formulation of the classical factorization theorems for matrix valued H1-functions. As a corollary we prove (for instance) that if A ⊂ B is a C*-subalgebra of a C*-algebra B, then every operator from A into H∞ extends to an operator from B into H∞ with the same norm. We include some remarks on the ARNP in connection with the complex interpolation method.

Abstract We say that a map $f$ from a Banach space $X$ to another Banach space $Y$ is a phase-isometry if the equality \[ \{\|f(x)+f(y)\|, \|f(x)-f(y)\|\}=\{\|x+y\|, \|x-y\|\} \] holds for all $x,\,y\in X$ . A Banach space $X$ is said to have the Wigner property if for any Banach space $Y$ and every surjective phase-isometry $f : X\rightarrow Y$ , there exists a phase function $\varepsilon : X \rightarrow \{-1,\,1\}$ such that $\varepsilon \cdot f$ is a linear isometry. We present some basic properties of phase-isometries between two real Banach spaces. These enable us to show that all finite-dimensional polyhedral Banach spaces and CL-spaces possess the Wigner property.

AbstractLet (ℳi)i∈I, be families of von Neumann algebras and be ultrafilters in I, J, respectively. Let 1 ≤ p < ∞ and n ∈ ℕ. Let x1,… ,xn in ΠLp(ℓi ) and y1,… ,yn in be bounded families. We show the following equalityFor p = 1 this Fubini type result is related to the local reflexivity of duals of C*-algebras. This fails for p = ∞.

The paper is devoted to local derivations on the algebra [Formula: see text] of τ-measurable operators affiliated with a von Neumann algebra [Formula: see text] and a faithful normal semi-finite trace τ. We prove that every local derivation on [Formula: see text] which is continuous in the measure topology, is in fact a derivation. In the particular case of type I von Neumann algebras, they all are inner derivations. It is proved that for type I finite von Neumann algebras without an abelian direct summand, and also for von Neumann algebras with the atomic lattice of projections, the continuity condition on local derivations in the above results is redundant. Finally we give necessary and sufficient conditions on a commutative von Neumann algebra [Formula: see text] for the algebra [Formula: see text] to admit local derivations which are not derivations.

In the structure theory of Banach spaces as developed in (1), an important role is played by subspaces which are the ranges of projections having norm properties akin to those of the classical Banach spaces. A linear projection e on a Banach space V is called an M-projection ifand an L-projection if, insteadA closed subspace J of V is called an M-Summand if it is the range of an M-projection and an M-Ideal if J0 is the range of an L-projection in V′. Every M-Summand is an M-Ideal but the reverse is false.

1. Let E be a Banach space (by this we shall mean, for simplicity, a real Banach space) and (xn,fn) ({xn} ⊂ E, {fn} ⊂ E*) a biorthogonal system, such that {fn} is total on E (i.e. the relations x ∈ E,fn(x) = 0, n = 1, 2, …, imply x = 0). Then it is natural to consider the cone1which we shall call “the cone associated with the biorthogonal system (xn,fn)”. In particular, if {xn} is a basis of E and {fn} the sequence of coefficient functional associated with the basis {xn}, this cone is nothing else but2and we shall call it “the cone associated with the basis {xn}”.

We study completely positive (CP) [Formula: see text]-sesquilinear-form-valued maps on a unital [Formula: see text]-algebra [Formula: see text], where the sesquilinear forms operate on a module over a [Formula: see text]-algebra [Formula: see text]. We also study the cases when either one or both of the algebras are von Neumann algebras. Moreover, we assume that the CP maps are covariant with respect to actions of a symmetry group. This allows us to view these maps as generalizations of covariant quantum instruments. We determine minimal covariant dilations (KSGNS constructions) for covariant CP maps to find necessary and sufficient conditions for a CP map to be extreme in convex subsets of normalized covariant CP maps. As a special case, we study covariant quantum observables and instruments whose value space is a transitive space of a unimodular type-I group. Finally, we discuss the case of instruments that are covariant with respect to a square-integrable representation.
