We extend Akemann, Anderson, and Weaver'sSpectral Scaledefinition to include selfadjoint operators fromsemifinitevon Neumann algebras. New illustrations of spectral scales in both the finite and semifinite von Neumann settings are presented. A counterexample to a conjecture made by Akemann concerning normal operators and the geometry of the their perspective spectral scales (in the finite setting) is offered.

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.

Definition Of

AbstractWe present a definition of spectral flow for any norm closed ideal J in any von Neumann algebra N. Given a path of selfadjoint operators in N which are invertible in N/J, the spectral flow produces a class in Ko(J).Given a semifinite spectral triple (A, H, D) relative to (N, τ) with A separable, we construct a class [D] ∈ KK1(A, K(N)). For a unitary u ∈ A, the von Neumann spectral flow between D and u*Du is equal to the Kasparov product [u]A[D], and is simply related to the numerical spectral flow, and a refined C*-spectral flow.

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.

Dynamical Semigroup

For a von Neumann algebra ࡕ acting on a Hilbert space ℋ with a cyclic and separating vector ξ0, we investigate the structure of Dirichlet forms on the natural standard form associated with the pair (ࡕ, ξ0). For a general bounded Lindblad type generator L of a conservative quantum dynamical semigroup on ࡕ, we give sufficient conditions so that the bounded operator H induced by L via the symmetric embedding of ࡕ into ℋ to be self-adjoint. It turns out that the self-adjoint operator H can be written in the form of a Dirichlet operator associated to a Dirichlet form given in Ref. 23. In order to make the connection possible, we also extend the range of applications of the formula in Ref. 23.

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)**.

The following (so-called unitary equivalence) problem is of paramount importance in the theory of operators: given two (bounded linear) operators A1, A2 on a (complex) Hilbert space , determine whether or not they are unitarily equivalent, i.e., whether or not there is a unitary operator U on such that U*A1U = A2. For normal operators this question is completely answered by the classical multiplicity theory [7; 11]. Many authors, in particular, Brown [3], Pearcy [9], Deckard [5], Radjavi [10], and Arveson [1; 2], considered the problem for non-normal operators and have obtained various significant results. However, most of their results (cf. [13]) deal only with operators which are of type I in the following sense [12]: an operator, A, is of type I (respectively, II1, II∞, III) if the von Neumann algebra generated by A is of type I (respectively, II1, II∞, III).

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.
