In this note we prove that if G is a countable discrete group, then every uniformly bounded cocycle from a standard Borel G-space into a finite Von Neumann algebra is cohomologous to a unitary cocycle. This generalizes results of both F. H. Vasilescu and L. Zsidó and R. J. Zimmer.

AbstractWe give a short proof of a result of T. Bates and T. Giordano stating that any uniformly bounded Borel cocycle into a finite von Neumann algebra is cohomologous to a unitary cocycle. We also point out a separability issue in their proof. Our approach is based on the existence of a non-positive curvature metric on the positive cone of a finite von Neumann algebra.

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.

AbstractIn the present paper we prove that every 2-local derivation on a semi-finite von Neumann algebra is a derivation.

Let [Formula: see text] be a semi-finite von Neumann algebra equipped with a faithful semi-finite normal trace τ, and f(t) be a convex function with f(0) = 0. The trace Jensen inequality in our previous work states τ(f(a*xa)) ≤ τ(a*f(x)a) (as long as the both sides are well-defined) for a contraction [Formula: see text] and a semi-bounded τ-measurable operator x. Validity of this inequality for (not necessarily semi-bounded) self-adjoint τ-measurable operators is investigated.

In this paper, we give some characterisations of homomorphisms on von Neumann algebras by linear preservers. We prove that a bounded linear surjective map from a von Neumann algebra onto another is zero-product preserving if and only if it is a homomorphism multiplied by an invertible element in the centre of the image algebra. By introducing the notion of tr-rank of the elements in finite von Neumann algebras, we show that a unital linear map from a linear subspace ℳ of a finite von Neumann algebra ℛ into ℛ can be extended to an algebraic homomorphism from the subalgebra generated by ℳ into ℛ; and a unital self-adjoint linear map from a finite von Neumann algebra onto itself is completely tr-rank preserving if and only if it is a spatial *-automorphism.

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.

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.

A triple of finite von Neumann algebras B ⊆ N ⊆ M is said to have the relative weak asymptotic homomorphism property if there exists a net of unitary operators {uλ}λ∈Λ in B such that [Formula: see text] for all x,y ∈ M. We prove that a triple of finite von Neumann algebras B ⊆ N ⊆ M has the relative weak asymptotic homomorphism property if and only if N contains the set of all x ∈ M such that [Formula: see text] for a finite number of elements x1, …, xn in M. Such an x is called a one-sided quasi-normalizer of B, and the von Neumann algebra generated by all one-sided quasi-normalizers of B is called the one-sided quasi-normalizer algebra of B. We characterize one-sided quasi-normalizer algebras for inclusions of group von Neumann algebras and use this to show that one-sided quasi-normalizer algebras and quasi-normalizer algebras are not equal in general. We also give some applications to inclusions L(H) ⊆ L(G) arising from containments of groups. For example, when L(H) is a masa we determine the unitary normalizer algebra as the von Neumann algebra generated by the normalizers of H in G.

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.

AbstractLet α be an automorphism of a finite von Neumann algebra and let H(α) be its Connes-Størmer's entropy. We show that H(α) = 0 if α is the induced automorphism on the crossed product of a Lebesgue space by a pure point spectrum transformation. We also show that H is not continuous in α and we compute H(α) for some α.
