The spaces Lp(, φ) for 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, where φ is a faithful semifinite normal trace on a von Neumann algebra , are defined in (10),(2),(14). The problem of determining the general form of an isometry of one such space into another has been studied in (i), (6), (9), (12), (5). Our main result, Theorem 2, is a characterization of such isometries for 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, ≠ 2. The method of proof is based on that of (7), where isometries between Lp function spaces are characterized. The main step in the proof is Theorem 1, which gives the conditions under which equality holds in Clarkson's inequality.

AbstractThis article aims to study the relationship between the universal enveloping C*-algebra C*(M) and the universal enveloping von Neumann algebra W*(M), when M is a JW-algebra. In our main result (Theorem 2·7) we show that C*(M) can be realized as the C*-subalgebra of W*(M) generated by M.

Let Γ be a discrete group and 𝒩 a finite factor, and assume that both have Kazhdan's Property (T). For p ∈ [1, +∞), p ≠ 2, let π : Γ →O(Lp(𝒩)) be a homomorphism to the group O(Lp(𝒩)) of linear bijective isometries of the Lp-space of 𝒩. There are two actions πl and πr of a finite index subgroup Γ+ of Γ by automorphisms of 𝒩 associated to π and given by πl(g)x = (π(g) 1)*π(g)(x) and πr(g)x = π(g)(x)(π(g) 1)* for g ∈ Γ+ and x ∈ 𝒩. Assume that πl and πr are ergodic. We prove that π is locally rigid, that is, the orbit of π under O(Lp(𝒩)) is open in Hom (Γ, O(Lp(𝒩))). As a corollary, we obtain that, if moreover Γ is an ICC group, then the embedding g ↦ Ad (λ(g)) is locally rigid in O(Lp(𝒩(Γ))), where 𝒩(Γ) is the von Neumann algebra generated by the left regular representation λ of Γ.

Let [Formula: see text] be a statistical manifold of density operators, with respect to an n.s.f. trace τ on a semifinite von Neumann algebra M. If Sp is the unit sphere of the noncommutative space Lp(M, τ), using the noncommutative Amari embedding [Formula: see text], we define a noncommutative α-bundle-connection pair (ℱα, ∇α), by the pullback technique. In the commutative case we show that it coincides with the construction of nonparametric Amari–Čentsov α-connection made in Ref. 8 by Gibilisco and Pistone.

Let [Mscr ] be a von Neumann algebra (not necessarily semi-finite). We provide a generalization of the classical Kadec–Pełczyński subsequence decomposition of bounded sequences in Lp[0, 1] to the case of the Haagerup Lp-spaces (1 [les ] p < 1 ). In particular, we prove that if { φn}∞n=1 is a bounded sequence in the predual [Mscr ]∗ of [Mscr ], then there exist a subsequence {φnk}∞k=1 of {φn}∞n=1, a decomposition φnk = yk+zk such that {yk, k [ges ] 1} is relatively weakly compact and the support projections supp(zk) ↓k 0 (or similarly mutually disjoint). As an application, we prove that every non-reflexive subspace of the dual of any given C*-algebra (or Jordan triples) contains asymptotically isometric copies of [lscr ]1 and therefore fails the fixed point property for non-expansive mappings. These generalize earlier results for the case of preduals of semi-finite von Neumann algebras.

Let M be a von Neumann algebra. We define the noncommutative extension of information geometry by embeddings of M into noncommutative Lp-spaces. Using the geometry of uniformly convex Banach spaces and duality of the Lp and Lq spaces for 1/p +1/q =1, we show that we can introduce the α-divergence, for α∈(-1, 1), in a similar manner as Amari in the classical case. If restricted to the positive cone, the α-divergence belongs to the class of quasi-entropies, defined by Petz.

Given any subset ℬ, containing the identity (1), of ℬ (ℋ) (the bounded operators on some Hilbert space ℋ), and given two states σ and ρ on ℬ(ℋ), a definition was given in [3] of entℬ (σℬ|ρ|ℬ) - ‘the entropy of σ relative to ρ given the information in ℬ’. It was shown that, for ℬ an injective von Neumann algebra, the resulting relative entropy agreed with those of Umegaki, Araki, Pusz and Woronowicz, and Uhlmann. The purpose of this paper is to explore this definition further. After some technical preliminaries in Section 2, in Section 3 a new characterization of entℬ(ℋ) (σ|ρ) for σ and ρ normal states will be given. In Section 4 it will be shown that under fairly general circumstances the relative entropy on algebras can be used for statistical inference. This is important for applications of the relative entropy. I shall given the briefest sketches of how I see these applications being made in the measurement problem in quantum theory and in a ‘many worlds’ interpretation. The vigilant reader will notice that the scheme proposed in Section 4 for modelling measurements subject to given compatibility requirements differs slightly from that proposed in the introduction to [3]. The reason for this is outlined in Section 5, where an explicit computation is made of the relative entropy for the simplest non-trivial case in which ℬ is not an algebra; when ℬ = {1, P, Q} for P and Q projections subject to certain conditions.

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.

Extensions of semigroups have been studied from two points of view; ideal extensions and Schreier extension. In this paper another type of extension is considered for the class of inverse semigroups. The main result (Theorem 2) is stated in the form of the classical treatment of Schreier extensions (see e.g.[7]). The motivation for the definition of idempotentseparating extension comes primarily from G. B. Preston's concept of a normal set of subsets of a semigroup [6]. The characterization of such extensions is applied to give another description of bisimple inverse ω-semigroups, which were first described by N. R. Reilly [8]. The main tool used in the proof of Theorem 2 is Preston's characterization of congruences on an inverse semigroup [5]. For the standard terminology used, the reader is referred to [1].
