Type Decomposition

We initiate the study of perturbation of von Neumann algebras relatively to the Banach–Mazur distance. We first prove that the type decomposition is continuous, i.e. if two von Neumann algebras are close, then their respective summands of each type are close. We then prove that, under some vanishing conditions on its Hochschild cohomology groups, a von Neumann algebra is Banach–Mazur stable, i.e. any von Neumann algebra which is close enough is actually Jordan ∗-isomorphic. These vanishing conditions are possibly empty.

AbstractWe study the type decomposition and the rectangular AFD property for W*-TRO’s. Like von Neumann algebras, every W*-TRO can be uniquely decomposed into the direct sum of W*- TRO's of type I, type II, and type III. We may further considerW*-TRO's of type Im,n with cardinal numbers m and n, and considerW*-TRO's of type IIλ,μ with λ, μ = 1 or ∞. It is shown that every separable stable W*-TRO (which includes type I∞, ∞, type II∞, ∞ and type III) is TRO-isomorphic to a von Neumann algebra. We also introduce the rectangular version of the approximately finite dimensional property for W*-TRO’s. One of our major results is to show that a separable W*-TRO is injective if and only if it is rectangularly approximately finite dimensional. As a consequence of this result, we show that a dual operator space is injective if and only if its operator predual is a rigid rectangular space (equivalently, a rectangular space).

Algebra Of Operators

A Murray-von Neumann algebra is the algebra of operators affiliated with a finite von Neumann algebra. In this article, we study derivations of Murray-von Neumann algebras and their properties. We show that the "extended derivations" of a Murray-von Neumann algebra, those that map the associated finite von Neumann algebra into itself, are inner. In particular, we prove that the only derivation that maps a Murray-von Neumann algebra associated with a von Neumann algebra of type ${\rm II}_1$ into that von Neumann algebra is 0. This result is an extension, in two ways, of Singer's seminal result answering a question of Kaplansky, as applied to von Neumann algebras: the algebra may be non-commutative and contain unbounded elements. In another sense, as we indicate in the introduction, all the derivation results including ours extend what Singer's result says, that the derivation is the 0-mapping, numerically in our main theorem and cohomologically in our theorem on extended derivations. The cohomology in this case is the Hochschild cohomology for associative algebras.

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.

AbstractThe decomposability number of a von Neumann algebra ℳ (denoted by dec(ℳ)) is the greatest cardinality of a family of pairwise orthogonal non-zero projections in ℳ. In this paper, we explore the close connection between dec(ℳ) and the cardinal level of the Mazur property for the predual ℳ* of ℳ, the study of which was initiated by the second author. Here, our main focus is on those von Neumann algebras whose preduals constitute such important Banach algebras on a locally compact group G as the group algebra L1(G), the Fourier algebra A(G), the measure algebra M(G), the algebra LUC(G)*, etc. We show that for any of these von Neumann algebras, say ℳ, the cardinal number dec(ℳ) and a certain cardinal level of the Mazur property of ℳ* are completely encoded in the underlying group structure. In fact, they can be expressed precisely by two dual cardinal invariants of G: the compact covering number κ(G) of G and the least cardinality ᙭(G) of an open basis at the identity of G. We also present an application of the Mazur property of higher level to the topological centre problem for the Banach algebra A(G)**.

Remarkable Progress

The fact that any von Neumann algebra on a separable Hilbert space has an essentially unique direct integral decomposition into factors means that there is a global as well as a local aspect to any partial classification of von Neumann algebras. More precisely, suppose that J is a statement about von Neumann algebras which is either true or false for any given von Neumann algebra. Then a von Neumann algebra is said to satisfy J globally if it satisfies J, and to satsify J locally if almost all the factors appearing in some (and hence in any) central decomposition of it satisfy J . In a recent paper [3], H. Araki and E. J. Woods introduced the notion of the asymptotic ratio set of a factor, and by means of this they made remarkable progress in the classification of factors.

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.

AbstractWe analyse the structure of a regular extension ℳ ⋊ γ, υQ of a von Neumann algebra ℳ by an action (modulo inner automorphisms) γ of a discrete group Q, and a nonabelian 2-cycle υ for γ, under the assumption that the “action” γ of Q is cocycle conjugate to an “action”, α which leaves globally invariant a cartan subalgebra of ℳ. we show that ℳ ⋊ γ, υQ is isomorphic with the algebra of the left regular projective representation of a certain discrete, non-principal groupoid ℜ V Q determined by the action of Q on the given cartan subalgebrs, where ℜ is the Takesaki relation associated to the pair (ℳ, ) we apply this description to give a decomposition of the regular representation of a group G into irreducibles, where G is a split extension of a type I group K by an abelian group Q, and work out the details of the author's earlier abstract plancherel theorem in the case when K is abelian.

Group Von Neumann Algebra

In [M. Berbec and S. Vaes, W*-superrigidity for group von Neumann algebras of left–right wreath products, Proc. London Math. Soc.108 (2014) 1116–1152] we have proven that, for all hyperbolic groups and for all nontrivial free products Γ, the left–right wreath product group 𝒢 ≔ (ℤ/2ℤ)(Γ) ⋊ (Γ × Γ) is W*-superrigid, in the sense that its group von Neumann algebra L𝒢 completely remembers the group 𝒢. In this paper, we extend this result to other classes of countable groups. More precisely, we prove that for weakly amenable groups Γ having positive first ℓ2-Betti number, the same wreath product group 𝒢 is W*-superrigid.
