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.

In [7, 8] Haagerup introduced two isomorphism invariants and for C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras , based on appropriate forms of the completely bounded approximation property defined below. These definitions have obvious extensions to operator spaces and dual operator spaces respectively, and in [16] we established the multiplicativity of A on the ultraweakly closed spatial tensor product of two dual operator spaces and :

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.

AbstractWe investigate tensor products of random matrices, and show that independence of entries leads asymptotically to $$\varepsilon $$ ε -free independence, a mixture of classical and free independence studied by Młotkowski and by Speicher and Wysoczański. The particular $$\varepsilon $$ ε arising is prescribed by the tensor product structure chosen, and conversely, we show that with suitable choices an arbitrary $$\varepsilon $$ ε may be realized in this way. As a result, we obtain a new proof that $$\mathcal {R}^\omega $$ R ω -embeddability is preserved under graph products of von Neumann algebras, along with an explicit recipe for constructing matrix models.

This paper investigates special conditions under which the tensor product of two von Neumann algebras will be non-isomorphic to the tensor product of two others. The main tools are the algebraic invariants property Λ x (x ≧ 0) (first defined by Powers [18]) and the r ∞ and ρ sets (defined by Araki and Woods [3]).

AbstractFor any pair M, N of von Neumann algebras such that the algebraic tensor product M ⊗ N admits more than one C*-norm, the cardinal of the set of C*-norms is at least 2ℵ0. Moreover, there is a family with cardinality 2ℵ0 of injective tensor product functors for C*-algebras in Kirchberg's sense. Let ${\mathbb B}$=∏nMn. We also show that, for any non-nuclear von Neumann algebra M⊂ ${\mathbb B}$(ℓ2), the set of C*-norms on ${\mathbb B}$ ⊗ M has cardinality equal to 22ℵ0.

It is well known in the work of Kadison and Ringrose (1983)that if and are maximal abelian von Neumann subalgebras of von Neumann algebras and , respectively, then is a maximal abelian von Neumann subalgebra of . It is then natural to ask whether a similar result holds in the context of -algebras and the -tensor product. Guided to some extent by the close relationship between a -algebra M and its universal enveloping von Neumann algebra , we seek in this article to investigate the answer to this question.

For a large class of C*-algebras including all von Neumann algebras, the central Haagerup tensor product of the multiplier algebra with itself has an isometric representation as completely bounded operators.

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.

An [Formula: see text]-dimensional quantum torus is defined as the [Formula: see text]-algebra generated by variables [Formula: see text] together with their inverses satisfying the relations [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text]. The Krull and global dimensions of this algebra are known to coincide and the common value is equal to the supremum of the rank of certain subgroups of [Formula: see text] that can be associated with this algebra. In this paper we study how these dimensions behave with respect to taking tensor products of quantum tori over the base field. We derive a best possible upper bound for the dimension of such a tensor product and from this special cases in which the dimension is additive with respect to tensoring.
