AbstractA subset ${\mathcal{X}}$ of a C*-algebra ${\mathcal{A}}$ is called irredundant if no $A\in {\mathcal{X}}$ belongs to the C*-subalgebra of ${\mathcal{A}}$ generated by ${\mathcal{X}}\setminus \{A\}$. Separable C*-algebras cannot have uncountable irredundant sets and all members of many classes of nonseparable C*-algebras, e.g., infinite dimensional von Neumann algebras have irredundant sets of cardinality continuum.There exists a considerable literature showing that the question whether every AF commutative nonseparable C*-algebra has an uncountable irredundant set is sensitive to additional set-theoretic axioms, and we investigate here the noncommutative case.Assuming $\diamondsuit$ (an additional axiom stronger than the continuum hypothesis), we prove that there is an AF C*-subalgebra of ${\mathcal{B}}(\ell _{2})$ of density $2^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}}=\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}_{1}$ with no nonseparable commutative C*-subalgebra and with no uncountable irredundant set. On the other hand we also prove that it is consistent that every discrete collection of operators in ${\mathcal{B}}(\ell _{2})$ of cardinality continuum contains an irredundant subcollection of cardinality continuum.Other partial results and more open problems are presented.

The set of normalizers between von Neumann (or, more generally, reflexive) algebras $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ (that is, the set of all operators $T$ such that $T \mathcal{A} T^{\ast} \subseteq \mathcal{B}$ and $T^{\ast} \mathcal{B} T \subseteq \mathcal{A}$) possesses ‘local linear structure’: it is a union of reflexive linear spaces. These spaces belong to the interesting class of normalizing linear spaces, namely, those linear spaces $\mathcal{U}$ of operators satisfying $\mathcal{UU}^{\ast} \mathcal{U} \subseteq \mathcal{U}$ (also known as ternary rings of operators). Such a space is reflexive whenever it is ultraweakly closed, and then it is of the form $\mathcal{U} = \{T : TL = \phi (L) T$ for all $L \in \mathcal{L}\}$ where $\mathcal{L}$ is a set of projections and $\phi$ a certain map defined on $\mathcal{L}$. A normalizing space consists of normalizers between appropriate von Neumann algebras $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$. Necessary and sufficient conditions are found for a normalizing space to consist of normalizers between two reflexive algebras. Normalizing spaces which are bimodules over maximal abelian self-adjoint algebras consist of operators ‘supported’ on sets of the form $[f = g]$ where $f$ and $g$ are appropriate Borel functions. They also satisfy spectral synthesis in the sense of Arveson.2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 47L05 (primary), 47L35, 46L10 (secondary).

In the first paper of this series [17], we set up some general machinery for studying ergodic actions of compact groups on von Neumann algebras, namely, those actions for which . In particular we obtained a characterisation of the full multiplicity ergodic actions:THEOREM A. If α is an ergodic action of G on , then the following conditions are equivalent:(1) Each spectral subspace has multiplicity dim π for π in .(2) Each π in admits a unitary eigenmatrix in .(3) The W* crossed product is a (Type I) factor.(4) The C* crossed product of the C* algebra of norm continuity is isomorphic to the algebra of compact operators on a Hilbert space.

A new class of operator algebras, Kadison–Singer algebras (KS-algebras), is introduced. These highly noncommutative, non-self-adjoint algebras generalize triangular matrix algebras. They are determined by certain minimally generating lattices of projections in the von Neumann algebras corresponding to the commutant of the diagonals of the KS-algebras. A new invariant for the lattices is introduced to classify these algebras.

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).

In [7, 8] Haagerup introduced two isomorphism invariants and for C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras , based on appropriate forms of the completely bounded approximation property defined below. These definitions have obvious extensions to operator spaces and dual operator spaces respectively, and in [16] we established the multiplicativity of A on the ultraweakly closed spatial tensor product of two dual operator spaces and :

Abstract Generalizing von Neumann’s result on type II $_1$ von Neumann algebras, I characterise lattice isomorphisms between projection lattices of arbitrary von Neumann algebras by means of ring isomorphisms between the algebras of locally measurable operators. Moreover, I give a complete description of ring isomorphisms of locally measurable operator algebras when the von Neumann algebras are without type II direct summands.
