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.

We show that ergodic flows in the noncommutative [Formula: see text]-space (associated with a semifinite von Neumann algebra) generated by continuous semigroups of positive Dunford–Schwartz operators and modulated by bounded Besicovitch almost periodic functions converge almost uniformly. The corresponding local ergodic theorem is also proved. We then extend these results to arbitrary noncommutative fully symmetric spaces and present applications to noncommutative Orlicz (in particular, noncommutative [Formula: see text]-spaces), Lorentz, and Marcinkiewicz spaces. The commutative counterparts of the results are derived.

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).

The noncommutative Lp-spaces (1 ≤p≤ ∞) of unbounded operators associated with a regular gauge space (a von Neumann algebra equipped with a faithful normal semifinite trace) are studied by many authors ((4), (5) and (7)). It is well-known that the noncommutativeLp-spaces (1 ≤P< ∞) are Banach spaces and the dual ofLpisLq(1 ≤p< ∞, 1/p+ 1/q= 1) by means of a Radon-Nikodym theorem.

We consider a sequence of weak Kadison–Schwarz maps τn on a von-Neumann algebra ℳ with a faithful normal state ϕ sub-invariant for each (τn, n ≥ 1) and use a duality argument to prove strong convergence of their pre-dual maps when their induced contractive maps (Tn, n ≥ 1) on the GNS space of (ℳ, ϕ) are strongly convergent. The result is applied to deduce improvements of some known ergodic theorems and Birkhoff's mean ergodic theorem for any locally compact second countable amenable group action on the pre-dual Banach space ℳ*.

AbstractRecently, Daws introduced a notion of co-representation of abelian Hopf–von Neumann algebras on general reflexive Banach spaces. In this note, we show that this notion cannot be extended beyond subhomogeneous Hopf–von Neumann algebras. The key is our observation that, for a von Neumann algebra 𝔐 and a reflexive operator space E, the normal spatial tensor product $\M \btensor \CB (E)$ is a Banach algebra if and only if 𝔐 is subhomogeneous or E is completely isomorphic to column Hilbert space.

Let M be a von Neumann algebra and let {αt}t∊R be a σ-weakly continuous flow on M; i.e., suppose that {αt}t∊R is a one-parameter group of *-automorphisms of M such that for each ρ in the predual, M∗, of M and for each x ∊ M, the function of t, ρ(αt(x)), is continuous on R. In recent years, considerable attention has been focused on the subspace of M, H∞(α), which is defined to bewhere H∞(R) is the classical Hardy space consisting of the boundary values of functions bounded analytic in the upper half-plane. In Theorem 3.15 of [8] it is proved that in fact H∞(α) is a σ-weakly closed subalgebra of M containing the identity operator such thatis σ-weakly dense in M, and such that

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.

Let N be a von Neumann subalgebra of a von Neumann algebra M. A linear mapping π: M → N is called a retraction if it is idempotent and has norm one. By a result of Tomiyama(15) a retraction is a positive mapping and is a module homo-morphism over N. A retraction is normal if it is ultraweakly continuous, and faithful if it does not annihilate any nonzero positive element of M. Suppose that (Nn)n≥1 is an increasing sequence of von Neumann subalgebras of M whose union is weakly dense in M and that, for each n, πn: M → Nn is a faithful normal retraction. The sequence (πn) is called a martingale if, whenever m ≥ n,
