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*.

Local Ergodic Theorem

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.

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.

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).

Time Averages

This perspective highlights the mean ergodic theorem established by John von Neumann and the pointwise ergodic theorem established by George Birkhoff, proofs of which were published nearly simultaneously in PNAS in 1931 and 1932. These theorems were of great significance both in mathematics and in statistical mechanics. In statistical mechanics they provided a key insight into a 60-y-old fundamental problem of the subject—namely, the rationale for the hypothesis that time averages can be set equal to phase averages. The evolution of this problem is traced from the origins of statistical mechanics and Boltzman's ergodic hypothesis to the Ehrenfests' quasi-ergodic hypothesis, and then to the ergodic theorems. We discuss communications between von Neumann and Birkhoff in the Fall of 1931 leading up to the publication of these papers and related issues of priority. These ergodic theorems initiated a new field of mathematical-research called ergodic theory that has thrived ever since, and we discuss some of recent developments in ergodic theory that are relevant for statistical mechanics.

We say that a countable group $G$ is McDuff if it admits a free ergodic probability measure preserving action such that the crossed product is a McDuff $\text{II}_{1}$ factor. Similarly, $G$ is said to be stable if it admits such an action with the orbit equivalence relation being stable. The McDuff property, stability, inner amenability and property Gamma are subtly related and several implications and non-implications were obtained in Effros [Property $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$ and inner amenability. Proc. Amer. Math. Soc.47 (1975), 483–486], Jones and Schmidt [Asymptotically invariant sequences and approximate finiteness. Amer. J. Math.109 (1987), 91–114], Vaes [An inner amenable group whose von Neumann algebra does not have property Gamma. Acta Math.208 (2012), 389–394], Kida [Inner amenable groups having no stable action.

We complete the picture with the remaining implications and counterexamples.

Let F denote the Thompson group with standard generators A = x0, B = x1. It is a long standing open problem whether F is an amenable group. By a result of Kesten from 1959, amenability of F is equivalent to [Formula: see text] and to [Formula: see text] where in both cases the norm of an element in the group ring ℂF is computed in B(ℓ2(F)) via the regular representation of F. By extensive numerical computations, we obtain precise lower bounds for the norms in (i) and (ii), as well as good estimates of the spectral distributions of (I+A+B)*(I+A+B) and of A+A-1+B+B-1 with respect to the tracial state τ on the group von Neumann Algebra L(F). Our computational results suggest, that [Formula: see text] It is however hard to obtain precise upper bounds for the norms, and our methods cannot be used to prove non-amenability of F.
