AbstractFor any groupG, we introduce the subsetS(G) of elementsgwhich are conjugate tofor some positive integerk. We show that, for any bounded representation π ofGanyginS(G), either π(g) = 1 or the spectrum of π(g) is the full unit circle in C. As a corollary,S(G) is in the kernel of any homomorphism fromGto the unitary group of a post-liminalC*-algebra with finite composition series.Next, for a topological groupG, we consider the subset of elements approximately conjugate to 1, and we prove that it is contained in the kernel of any uniformly continuous bounded representation ofG, and of any strongly continuous unitary representation in a finite von Neumann algebra.We apply these results to prove triviality for a number of representations of isotropic simple algebraic groups defined over various fields.

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.

Let M be a σ-finite von Neumann algebra and α = {αt}t∈A be a representation of a compact abelian group A as *-automorphisms of M. Let Γ be the dual group of A and suppose that Γ is totally ordered with a positive semigroup Σ⊆Γ. The analytic algebra associated with α and Σ iswhere spα(a) is Arveson's spectrum. These algebras were studied (also for A not necessarily compact) by several authors starting with Loebl and Muhly [10].

The entropic upper bound for Bayes risk in a general quantum case is presented. We obtained generalization of the entropic lower bound for probability of detection. Our result indicates upper bound for Bayes risk in a particular case of loss function – for probability of detection in a pretty general setting of an arbitrary finite von Neumann algebra. It is also shown under which condition the indicated upper bound is achieved.

AbstractThe paper is devoted to so-called local and 2-local derivations on the noncommutative Arens algebra L ω(M,τ) associated with a von Neumann algebra M and a faithful normal semi-finite trace τ. We prove that every 2-local derivation on L ω(M,τ) is a spatial derivation, and if M is a finite von Neumann algebra, then each local derivation on L ω(M,τ) is also a spatial derivation and every 2-local derivation on M is in fact an inner derivation.

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.

AbstractConsider the free orthogonal quantum groups $$O_N^+(F)$$ O N + ( F ) and free unitary quantum groups $$U_N^+(F)$$ U N + ( F ) with $$N \ge 3$$ N ≥ 3 . In the case $$F = \text {id}_N$$ F = id N it was proved both by Isono and Fima-Vergnioux that the associated finite von Neumann algebra $$L_\infty (O_N^+)$$ L ∞ ( O N + ) is strongly solid. Moreover, Isono obtains strong solidity also for $$L_\infty (U_N^+)$$ L ∞ ( U N + ) . In this paper we prove for general $$F \in GL_N(\mathbb {C})$$ F ∈ G L N ( C ) that the von Neumann algebras $$L_\infty (O_N^+(F))$$ L ∞ ( O N + ( F ) ) and $$L_\infty (U_N^+(F))$$ L ∞ ( U N + ( F ) ) are strongly solid. A crucial part in our proof is the study of coarse properties of gradient bimodules associated with Dirichlet forms on these algebras and constructions of derivations due to Cipriani–Sauvageot.

We present two types of result for approximately inner one-parameter automorphism groups (referred to as AI flows hereafter) of separable C*-algebras. First, if there is an irreducible representation π of a separable C*-algebra A such that π(A) does not contain non-zero compact operators, then there is an AI flow α such that π is α-covariant and α is far from uniformly continuous in the sense that α induces a flow on π(A) which has full Connes spectrum. Second, if α is an AI flow on a separable C*-algebra A and π is an α-covariant irreducible representation, then we can choose a sequence (hn) of self-adjoint elements in A such that αt is the limit of inner flows Ad eithn and the sequence π(eithn) of one-parameter unitary groups (referred to as unitary flows hereafter) converges to a unitary flow which implements α in π. This latter result will be extended to cover the case of weakly inner type I representations. In passing we shall also show that if two representations of a separable simple C*-algebra on a separable Hilbert space generate the same von Neumann algebra of type I, then there is an approximately inner automorphism which sends one into the other up to equivalence.

In section 3 we shall prove the following results: Let G be a separable locally compact abelian group, R a von Neumann algebra acting on a separable Hilbert space, and α a weakly continuous representation of G by inner *-automorphisms of R, say α(g) = ad Wg with Wg ∈ U(R). Then there is a weakly continuous unitary representation of G, by unitaries in R, implementing α if and only if the Wg's commute with each other. The result was motivated by the proof of (7), theorem 1. Suppose now Gis a discrete amenable group of *-automorphisms of a countably decomposable von Neumann algebra R. In section 3 we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a faithful normal G-invariant state on R. This generalizes a result of Hajian and Kakutani on invariant measures (2).
