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).

AbstractLetB(H) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert spaceHand 𝓐 ⊆B(H) be a von Neumann algebra with no central summands of typeI1. ForA,B∈ 𝓐, define byA∙B=AB+BA∗a new product ofAandB. In this article, it is proved that a map Φ: 𝓐 →B(H) satisfies Φ(A∙B∙C) = Φ(A) ∙B∙C+A∙ Φ(B) ∙C+A∙B∙Φ(C) for allA,B,C∈ 𝓐 if and only if Φ is an additive *-derivation.

The main result of this paper is that every normal operator on an infinitedimensional (complex) Hilbert space ℋ is the product of four self-adjoint operators; our Theorem 4 is an actually stronger result. A large class of normal operators will be given which cannot be expressed as the product of three self-adjoint operators.This work was motivated by a well-known resul t of Halmos and Kakutani (3) that every unitary operator on ℋ is the product of four symmetries, i.e., operators that are self-adjoint and unitary.1. By “operator” we shall mean bounded linear operator. The space ℋ will be infinite-dimensional (separable or non-separable) unless otherwise specified. We shall denote the class of self-adjoint operators on ℋ by and that of symmetries by .

Involutive Algebra

Let M be a compact smooth manifold, let [Formula: see text] be a unital involutive subalgebra of the von Neumann algebra £ (H) of bounded linear operators of some Hilbert space H, let [Formula: see text] be the unital involutive algebra [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] be an hermitian projective right [Formula: see text]-module of finite type, and let [Formula: see text] be the gauge group of unitary elements of the unital involutive algebra [Formula: see text] of right [Formula: see text]-linear endomorphisms of [Formula: see text]. We first prove that noncommutative geometry provides the suitable setting upon which a consistent theory of energy representations [Formula: see text] can be built. Three series of energy representations are constructed. The first consists of energy representations of the gauge group [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] being the group of unitary elements of [Formula: see text], associated with integrable Riemannian structures of M, and the second series consists of energy representations associated with (d, ∞)-summable K-cycles over [Formula: see text]. In the case where [Formula: see text] is a von Neumann algebra of type II 1 a third series is given: we introduce the notion of regular quasi K-cycle, we prove that regular quasi K-cycles over [Formula: see text] always exist, and that each of them induces an energy representation.

Minimal Normal Extension

1. An n-tuple S = (S1, …, Sn) of commuting bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H is said to have commuting normal extension if and only if there exists an n-tuple N = (N1, …, Nn) of commuting normal operators on some larger Hilbert space K ⊃ H with the restrictions Ni|H = Si, i = 1, …, n. If we takethe minimal reducing subspace of N containing H, then N is unique up to unitary equivalence and is called the c.n.e. of S. (Here J denotes the multi-index (j1, …, jn) of nonnegative integers and N*J = N1*jl … Nn*jn and we emphasize that c.n.e. denotes minimal commuting normal extension.) If n = 1, then S1 = S is called subnormal and N1 = N its minimal normal extension (m.n.e.).

AbstractSpectrality and prespectrality of elementary operators , acting on the algebra B(k) of all bounded linear operators on a separable infinite-dimensional complex Hubert space K, or on von Neumann-Schatten classes in B(k), are treated. In the case when (a1, a2, …, an) and (b1, b2, …, bn) are two n—tuples of commuting normal operators on H, the complete characterization of spectrality is given.

What is a von Neumann algebra? What is a factor (i) of type I, (ii) of type II, (iii) of type III? What is a projection geometry? And finally, what is a continuous geometry?The questions recall some of the most brilliant mathematical work of the past 30 years, work which was done by John von Neumann, partly in collaboration with F. J. Murray, and which grew out of von Neumann1 s analysis of linear operators in Hilbert space.

In [18], the author initiated an investigation of compact, Banach-module-valued derivations of C*-algebras. In collaboration with C. A. Akemann [3] and S.-K. Tsui [16], he determined the structure of all compact and weakly compact, A-valued derivations of a C*-algebra A, and of all compact, B(H)-valued derivations of a C*-subalgebra of B(H), the algebra of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H. In this paper, we begin the study of weakly compact, B(H)-valued derivations of C*-subalgebras of B(H).Let R be a C*-subalgebra of B(H), δ:R → B(H) a weakly compact derivation, i.e., a weakly compact linear map which hasSince δ has a unique weakly compact extension to a derivation of the closure of R in the weak operator topology (WOT) on B(H) (consult the proof of Theorem 3.1 of [16]), we may assume with no loss of generality that R is a von Neumann subalgebra of B(H). In this paper, we determine in Lemma 4.1 and Theorems 4.3 and 4.10 the structure of δ when R is type I, using I. E. Segal's multiplicity theory [14] for type I von Neumann algebras and results of E. Christensen [6], [7] on B(H)-valued derivations of von Neumann algebras.

Algebra Of Operators

Let G be an amenable locally compact group. We will use the terminology of [3] and denote by VN(G) the Von Neumann algebra of the regular representation and by A(G) its predual, which is the algebra of the coefficients of the regular representation. The Von Neumann algebra VN(G) is, in a natural fashion, a module with respect to A(G) [3].The algebra of bounded linear operators on VN(G), which commute with the action of A(G), has been studied in [6] and in [1]. If UCB(Ĝ) is the space of the elements of VN(G) of the form vT, for some v in A(G) and some T in VN(G) (see for instance [4]), in [6] and in [1] it is proved that, for any amenable locally compact group there exists an isometric bijection between and UCB(Ĝ)*.

AbstractSome features of the notion of sufficiency in quantum statistics are investigated. Three kinds of this notion are considered: plain sufficiency (called simply: sufficiency), strong sufficiency and Umegaki’s sufficiency. It is shown that for a finite von Neumann algebra with a faithful family of normal states the minimal sufficient von Neumann subalgebra is sufficient in Umegaki’s sense. Moreover, a proper version of the factorization theorem of Jenčová and Petz is obtained. The structure of the minimal sufficient subalgebra is described in the case of pure states on the full algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space.

Necessary And Sufficient

SynopsisIn this paper it is proved that, for scalar-type operators a and b on an infinite dimensional separable complex Hilbert space H, the generalised derivation Δa,b, defined for bounded linear operators x onℋ by the equation Δa,bx = ax − xb, is a (scalar-type) prespectral operator of the class (the trace class operators on ℋ) if and only if at least one of the spectra σ(a)or σ(b)is finite. It is shown also that the same condition is necessary and sufficient for Δa,b restricted to any one of the von Neumann-Schatten classes(p≠2) to be a spectral operator (of scalar type). Our results may be compared with those of J. Anderson and C. Foiaş, who established in [1] that, for scalar-type a, b, Δa,b is a (scalar-type) spectral operator if and only if both spectra, σ(a) and σ(b), are finite. However, we use different and more direct methods to show the existence or nonexistence of the spectral resolution of identity for Δa,b.
