AbstractWe give a condition for automorphisms α and β on finite von Neumann algebras which induces the tensor product formula for entropies: H(α ⊗ β) = H(α) + H(β). As an application, the Bernoulli shift (1/n, 1/n, …, 1/n) has extensions to ergodic outer automorphisms {αk; k = 1,2, …} on the hyperfinite II1 factor R with the entropies H(αk) = (1/2)kn log n.

We consider the notion of tensor product of noncommutative Lp spaces associated with finite von Neumann algebras and define the notion of tensor product of Haagerup noncommutative Lp spaces associated with σ-finite von Neumann algebras.

Group Von Neumann Algebra

For an inclusion N ⊆ M of II1 factors, we study the group of normalizers [Formula: see text] and the von Neumann algebra it generates. We first show that [Formula: see text] imposes a certain "discrete" structure on the generated von Neumann algebra. By analyzing the bimodule structure of certain subalgebras of [Formula: see text], this leads to a "Galois-type" theorem for normalizers, in which we find a description of the subalgebras of [Formula: see text] in terms of a unique countable subgroup of [Formula: see text]. Implications for inclusions B ⊆ M arising from the crossed product, group von Neumann algebra, and tensor product constructions will also be addressed. Our work leads to a construction of new examples of norming subalgebras in finite von Neumann algebras: If N ⊆ M is a regular inclusion of II1 factors, then N norms M.

Finite Von Neumann Algebras

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.

Special Cases

A deep result in the theory of W*-tensor products, the Commutation theorem, states that if M and N are W*-algebras faithfully represented as von Neumann algebras on the Hilbert spaces H and K, respectively, then the commutant in L(H ⊗ K) of the W*-tensor product of M and N coincides with the W*-tensor product of M′ and N′. Although special cases of this theorem were established successively by Misonou (2) and Sakai (3), the validity of the general result remained conjectural until the advent of the Tomita-Takesaki theory of Modular Hilbert algebras (6). As formulated, the Commutation theorem is a spatial result; that is, the W*-algebras in its statement are taken to act on specific Hilbert spaces. Not surprisingly, therefore, known proofs rely heavily on techniques of representation theory.
