AbstractWe give a spectral gap characterization of fullness for type {\mathrm{III}} factors which is the analog of a theorem of Connes in the tracial case. Using this criterion, we generalize a theorem of Jones by proving that if M is a full factor and {\sigma:G\rightarrow\mathrm{Aut}(M)} is an outer action of a discrete group G whose image in {\mathrm{Out}(M)} is discrete, then the crossed product von Neumann algebra {M\rtimes_{\sigma}G} is also a full factor. We apply this result to prove the following conjecture of Tomatsu–Ueda: the continuous core of a type {\mathrm{III}_{1}} factor M is full if and only if M is full and its τ invariant is the usual topology on {\mathbb{R}}.

A von Neumann algebra is called hyperfinite if it is the weak closure of an increasing sequence of finite-dimensional von Neumann subalgebras. For a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space the following is known: there exist hyperfinite and non-hyperfinite factors of type II1 (4, Theorem 16’), and of type III (8, Theorem 1); all hyperfinite factors of type Hi are isomorphic (4, Theorem 14); there exist uncountably many non-isomorphic hyperfinite factors of type III (7, Theorem 4.8); there exist two nonisomorphic non-hyperfinite factors of type II1 (10), and of type III (11). In this paper we will show that on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space there exist three non-isomorphic non-hyperfinite factors of type II1 (Theorem 2), and of type III (Theorem 3).Section 1 contains an exposition of crossed product, which is developed mainly for the construction of factors of type III in § 3.

Mercer’S Theorem

Let [Formula: see text] be a discrete group acting on a von Neumann algebra [Formula: see text] by properly outer ∗-automorphisms. In this paper, we study the containment [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] inside the crossed product. We characterize the intermediate von Neumann algebras, extending earlier work of other authors in the factor case. We also determine the [Formula: see text]-bimodules that are closed in the Bures topology and which coincide with the [Formula: see text]-closed ones under a mild hypothesis on [Formula: see text]. We use these results to obtain a general version of Mercer’s theorem concerning the extension of certain isometric [Formula: see text]-continuous maps on [Formula: see text]-bimodules to ∗-automorphisms of the containing von Neumann algebras.

B. Tsirelson constructed an uncountable family of type III product systems of Hilbert spaces through the theory of Gaussian spaces, measure type spaces and "slightly colored noises", using techniques from probability theory. Here we take a purely functional analytic approach and try to have a better understanding of Tsireleson's construction and his examples. We prove an extension of Shale's theorem connecting symplectic group and Weyl representation. We show that the "Shale map" respects compositions (this settles an old conjecture of K. R. Parthasarathy8). Using this we associate a product system to a sum system. This construction includes the exponential product system of Arveson, as a trivial case, and the type III examples of Tsirelson. By associating a von Neumann algebra to every "elementary set" in [0, 1], in a much simpler and direct way, we arrive at the invariants of the product system introduced by Tsirelson, given in terms of the sum system. Then we introduce a notion of divisibility for a sum system, and prove that the examples of Tsirelson are divisible. It is shown that only type I and type III product systems arise out of divisible sum systems. Finally, we give a sufficient condition for a divisible sum system to give rise to a unitless (type III) product system.

Cocycle Conjugacy

We classify, up to cocycle conjugacy, one-parameter automorphism groups on an approximately finite dimensional (AFD) factor ℳ of type III with trivial Connes spectrum. Our goal is to find the complete cocycle conjugacy invariants for one-parameter automorphism groups on ℳ. We also study the relations between the flow of weights of ℳ and that of the crossed product ℳ ⋊α ℝ of ℳ by a one-parameter automorphism group α with Γ(α) = {0}. Moreover, we also study model realizations. "Model realizations" means that given certain commutative data, they can be realized as the complete cocycle conjugacy invariants of centrally free and centrally ergodic one-parameter automorphism groups on some properly infinite AFD von Neumann algebras.

Algebra Of Operators

Let denote a separable, complex Hilbert space, and let R be a von Neumann algebra acting on . (A von Neumann algebra is a weakly closed, self-adjoint algebra of operators that contains the identity operator on its underlying space.) An element A of R is a commutator in R if there exist operators B and C in R such that A = BC — CB. The problem of specifying exactly which operators are commutators in R has been solved in certain special cases; e.g. if R is an algebra of type In (n < ∞) (2), and if R is a factor of type I∞ (1). It is the purpose of this note to treat the same problem in case R is a factor of type III. Our main result is the following theorem.

Made In

Given any subset ℬ, containing the identity (1), of ℬ (ℋ) (the bounded operators on some Hilbert space ℋ), and given two states σ and ρ on ℬ(ℋ), a definition was given in [3] of entℬ (σℬ|ρ|ℬ) - ‘the entropy of σ relative to ρ given the information in ℬ’. It was shown that, for ℬ an injective von Neumann algebra, the resulting relative entropy agreed with those of Umegaki, Araki, Pusz and Woronowicz, and Uhlmann. The purpose of this paper is to explore this definition further. After some technical preliminaries in Section 2, in Section 3 a new characterization of entℬ(ℋ) (σ|ρ) for σ and ρ normal states will be given. In Section 4 it will be shown that under fairly general circumstances the relative entropy on algebras can be used for statistical inference. This is important for applications of the relative entropy. I shall given the briefest sketches of how I see these applications being made in the measurement problem in quantum theory and in a ‘many worlds’ interpretation. The vigilant reader will notice that the scheme proposed in Section 4 for modelling measurements subject to given compatibility requirements differs slightly from that proposed in the introduction to [3]. The reason for this is outlined in Section 5, where an explicit computation is made of the relative entropy for the simplest non-trivial case in which ℬ is not an algebra; when ℬ = {1, P, Q} for P and Q projections subject to certain conditions.

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.
