Let M be a w*-algebra (Von Neumann algebra), τ a semifinite, faithful, normal trace on M. There exists a w*-dense (i.e., dense in the σ(M, M*)-topology, where M* is the predual of M) *-ideal J of M such that τ is a linear functional on J, and(where |x| = (x*x)1/2) is a norm on J. The completion of J in this norm is Lp(M, τ) (see [2], [8], [7], and [4]).If M is abelian, in which case there exists a measure space (X, μ) such that M = L∞(X, μ), then Lp(X, τ) is isometric, in a natural way, to Lp(X, μ). A natural question to ask is whether this situation persists if M is non-abelian. In a previous paper [5] it was shown that it is not possible to have a linear mapping

1. The central objects in integration theory can be considered to be an abelian Von Neumann algebra, L∞, of the measure space, together with a (not necessarily finite-valued) positive linear functional on it, the integral (see [10]). It is natural, therefore, to attempt to construct a “non-commutative” integration theory starting with a non-abelian Von Neumann algebra. Segal [9] and Dixmier [2] have developed such a theory, and constructed the Non-Commutative Lp spaces associated with a Von Neumann algebra M and a normal, faithful, semifinite trace (i.e. a unitarily invariant weight) t on M. They show that there exists a unique ultra-weakly dense *-ideal J of M such that t (extends to) a positive linear form on J . A generalisation of the Hölder inequality then shows that, for 1 ≦ p < ∞, the functionis a norm on J, denoted by || • ||p.

Let N be a von Neumann subalgebra of a von Neumann algebra M. A linear mapping π: M → N is called a retraction if it is idempotent and has norm one. By a result of Tomiyama(15) a retraction is a positive mapping and is a module homo-morphism over N. A retraction is normal if it is ultraweakly continuous, and faithful if it does not annihilate any nonzero positive element of M. Suppose that (Nn)n≥1 is an increasing sequence of von Neumann subalgebras of M whose union is weakly dense in M and that, for each n, πn: M → Nn is a faithful normal retraction. The sequence (πn) is called a martingale if, whenever m ≥ n,

Let Γ be a discrete group and 𝒩 a finite factor, and assume that both have Kazhdan's Property (T). For p ∈ [1, +∞), p ≠ 2, let π : Γ →O(Lp(𝒩)) be a homomorphism to the group O(Lp(𝒩)) of linear bijective isometries of the Lp-space of 𝒩. There are two actions πl and πr of a finite index subgroup Γ+ of Γ by automorphisms of 𝒩 associated to π and given by πl(g)x = (π(g) 1)*π(g)(x) and πr(g)x = π(g)(x)(π(g) 1)* for g ∈ Γ+ and x ∈ 𝒩. Assume that πl and πr are ergodic. We prove that π is locally rigid, that is, the orbit of π under O(Lp(𝒩)) is open in Hom (Γ, O(Lp(𝒩))). As a corollary, we obtain that, if moreover Γ is an ICC group, then the embedding g ↦ Ad (λ(g)) is locally rigid in O(Lp(𝒩(Γ))), where 𝒩(Γ) is the von Neumann algebra generated by the left regular representation λ of Γ.

Let M be a σ-finite von Neumann algebra and α = {αt}t∈A be a representation of a compact abelian group A as *-automorphisms of M. Let Γ be the dual group of A and suppose that Γ is totally ordered with a positive semigroup Σ⊆Γ. The analytic algebra associated with α and Σ iswhere spα(a) is Arveson's spectrum. These algebras were studied (also for A not necessarily compact) by several authors starting with Loebl and Muhly [10].

AbstractLet (ℳi)i∈I, be families of von Neumann algebras and be ultrafilters in I, J, respectively. Let 1 ≤ p < ∞ and n ∈ ℕ. Let x1,… ,xn in ΠLp(ℓi ) and y1,… ,yn in be bounded families. We show the following equalityFor p = 1 this Fubini type result is related to the local reflexivity of duals of C*-algebras. This fails for p = ∞.

Let A and B be C*-algebras acting on a Hilbert space H, and letwhere A1 is the unit ball in A and d(a, B1) denotes the distance of a from B1. We shall consider the following problem: if ‖A – B‖ is sufficiently small, does it follow that there is a unitary operator u such that uAu* = B?Such questions were first considered by Kadison and Kastler in [9], and have received considerable attention. In particular in the case where A is an approximately finite-dimensional (or hyperfinite) von Neumann algebra, the question has an affirmative answer (cf [3], [8], [12]). We shall show that in the case where A and B are approximately finite-dimensional C*-algebras (AF-algebras) the problem also has a positive answer.

In (7) we proved maximal and pointwise ergodic theorems for transformations a of a von Neumann algebra which are linear positive and norm-reducing for both the operator norm ‖ ‖∞ and the integral norm ‖ ‖1 associated with a normal trace ρ on . Here we introduce a class of Banach spaces of unbounded operators, including the Lp spaces defined in (6), in which the transformations α reduce the norm, and in which the mean ergodic theorem holds; that is the averagesconverge in norm.

Let [Formula: see text] be a statistical manifold of density operators, with respect to an n.s.f. trace τ on a semifinite von Neumann algebra M. If Sp is the unit sphere of the noncommutative space Lp(M, τ), using the noncommutative Amari embedding [Formula: see text], we define a noncommutative α-bundle-connection pair (ℱα, ∇α), by the pullback technique. In the commutative case we show that it coincides with the construction of nonparametric Amari–Čentsov α-connection made in Ref. 8 by Gibilisco and Pistone.

Let [Mscr ] be a von Neumann algebra (not necessarily semi-finite). We provide a generalization of the classical Kadec–Pełczyński subsequence decomposition of bounded sequences in Lp[0, 1] to the case of the Haagerup Lp-spaces (1 [les ] p < 1 ). In particular, we prove that if { φn}∞n=1 is a bounded sequence in the predual [Mscr ]∗ of [Mscr ], then there exist a subsequence {φnk}∞k=1 of {φn}∞n=1, a decomposition φnk = yk+zk such that {yk, k [ges ] 1} is relatively weakly compact and the support projections supp(zk) ↓k 0 (or similarly mutually disjoint). As an application, we prove that every non-reflexive subspace of the dual of any given C*-algebra (or Jordan triples) contains asymptotically isometric copies of [lscr ]1 and therefore fails the fixed point property for non-expansive mappings. These generalize earlier results for the case of preduals of semi-finite von Neumann algebras.

Let M be a von Neumann algebra. We define the noncommutative extension of information geometry by embeddings of M into noncommutative Lp-spaces. Using the geometry of uniformly convex Banach spaces and duality of the Lp and Lq spaces for 1/p +1/q =1, we show that we can introduce the α-divergence, for α∈(-1, 1), in a similar manner as Amari in the classical case. If restricted to the positive cone, the α-divergence belongs to the class of quasi-entropies, defined by Petz.
