Abelian Von Neumann Algebra

It has been known for some time that one can construct a proof of the spectral theorem for a normal operator on a Hilbert space by applying the Gelfand representation theorem to the Abelian von Neumann algebra generated by the normal operator, and using the fact that the maximal ideal space of an Abelian von Neumann algebra is extremely disconnected. This, in fact, is the spirit of the monograph (8). On the other hand, it is difficult to find in print accounts of the spectral theorem from this viewpoint and, in particular, the treatment in (8) uses a considerable amount of measure theory and does not have the proof of the spectral theorem as its main objective.

AbstractLetB(H) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert spaceHand 𝓐 ⊆B(H) be a von Neumann algebra with no central summands of typeI1. ForA,B∈ 𝓐, define byA∙B=AB+BA∗a new product ofAandB. In this article, it is proved that a map Φ: 𝓐 →B(H) satisfies Φ(A∙B∙C) = Φ(A) ∙B∙C+A∙ Φ(B) ∙C+A∙B∙Φ(C) for allA,B,C∈ 𝓐 if and only if Φ is an additive *-derivation.

Af Algebras

Let A and B be C*-algebras acting on a Hilbert space H, and letwhere A1 is the unit ball in A and d(a, B1) denotes the distance of a from B1. We shall consider the following problem: if ‖A – B‖ is sufficiently small, does it follow that there is a unitary operator u such that uAu* = B?Such questions were first considered by Kadison and Kastler in [9], and have received considerable attention. In particular in the case where A is an approximately finite-dimensional (or hyperfinite) von Neumann algebra, the question has an affirmative answer (cf [3], [8], [12]). We shall show that in the case where A and B are approximately finite-dimensional C*-algebras (AF-algebras) the problem also has a positive answer.

Hilbert Algebras

Let M be a von Neumann algebra acting on a Hilbert space and assume that M has a separating and cyclic vector ω in . Then it can happen that M contains a proper von Neumann subalgebra N for which ω is still cyclic. Such an example was given by Kadison in [4]. He considered and acting on where is a separable Hilbert space. In fact by a result of Dixmier and Maréchal, M, M′ and N have a joint cyclic vector [3]. Also Bratteli and Haagerup constructed such an example ([2], example 4.2) to illustrate the necessity of one of the conditions in the main result of their paper. In fact this situation seems to occur rather often in quantum field theory (see [1] Section 24.2, [3] and [4]).

The Subject

In (2) Halmos and Kakutani proved that any unitary operator on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is a product of at most four symmetries (self-adjoint unitaries). It is the purpose of this paper to show that if the unitary is an element of a properly infinite von Neumann algebraA(i.e., one with no finite non-zero central projections), then the symmetries may be chosen fromA.A principal tool used in establishing this result is Theorem 1, which was proved by Murray and von Neumann (6, 3.2.3) for type II1factors; see also (3, Lemma 5). The author would like to thank David Topping for raising the question, and for several stimulating conversations on the subject. He is also indebted to the referee for several helpful suggestions.

Algebra Of Operators

The paper investigates correlations in a general theory of quantum measurement based on the notion of instrument. The analysis is performed in the algebraic formalism of quantum theory in which the observables of a physical system are described by a von Neumann algebra, and the states — by normal positive normalized functionals on this algebra. The results extend and generalise those obtained for the classical case where one deals with the full algebra of operators on a Hilbert space.

Reflexive Algebras

For any collection of closed subspaces of a complex Hilbert space the set of bounded operators that leave invariant all the members of the collection is a weakly-closed algebra. The class of such algebras is precisely the class of reflexive algebras as defined for example in Radjavi and Rosenthal (1969) and contains the class of von Neumann algebras.In this paper we consider the problem of when such algebras are finitely generated as weakly-closed algebras. It is to be hoped that analysis of this problem may shed some light on the famous unsolved problem of whether every von Neumann algebra on a separable Hilbert space is finitely generated. The case where the underlying space is separable and the collection of subspaces is totally ordered is dealt with in Longstaff (1974). In the present paper the result of Longstaff (1974) is generalized to the case of a direct product of countably many totally ordered collections each on a separable space. Also a method of obtaining non-finitely generated reflexive algebras is given.

AbstractLet ℳ be a type II1 von Neumann algebra, τ a trace in ℳ, and L2 (ℳ, τ) the GNS Hilbert space of τ . We regard the unitary group Uℳ as a subset of L2(ℳ, τ) and characterize the shortest smooth curves joining two fixed unitaries in the L2 metric. As a consequence of this we obtain that Uℳ, though a complete (metric) topological group, is not an embedded riemannian submanifold of L2(ℳ, τ)

Algebra Of Operators

Let denote a separable, complex Hilbert space, and let R be a von Neumann algebra acting on . (A von Neumann algebra is a weakly closed, self-adjoint algebra of operators that contains the identity operator on its underlying space.) An element A of R is a commutator in R if there exist operators B and C in R such that A = BC — CB. The problem of specifying exactly which operators are commutators in R has been solved in certain special cases; e.g. if R is an algebra of type In (n < ∞) (2), and if R is a factor of type I∞ (1). It is the purpose of this note to treat the same problem in case R is a factor of type III. Our main result is the following theorem.

Bożejko and Speicher associated a finite von Neumann algebra M T to a self-adjoint operator T on a complex Hilbert space of the form $\mathcal {H}\otimes \mathcal {H}$ which satisfies the Yang–Baxter relation and $ \left\| T \right\| < 1$ . We show that if dim $(\mathcal {H})$ ⩾ 2, then M T is a factor when T admits an eigenvector of some special form.
