The order topology for a von Neumann algebra

Emmanuel Chetcuti, Jan Hamhalter, Hans Weber (2015)

Studia Mathematica

The order topology τ o ( P ) (resp. the sequential order topology τ o s ( P ) ) on a poset P is the topology that has as its closed sets those that contain the order limits of all their order convergent nets (resp. sequences). For a von Neumann algebra M we consider the following three posets: the self-adjoint part M s a , the self-adjoint part of the unit ball M ¹ s a , and the projection lattice P(M). We study the order topology (and the corresponding sequential variant) on these posets, compare the order topology to the other...

The von Neumann algebras generated by t -gaussians

Éric Ricard (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the t -deformation of gaussian von Neumann algebras. They appear as example in the theories of Interacting Fock spaces and conditionally free products. When the number of generators is fixed, it is proved that if t is sufficiently close to 1 , then these algebras do not depend on t . In the same way, the notion of conditionally free von Neumann algebras often coincides with freeness.

Topologies on central extensions of von Neumann algebras

Shavkat Ayupov, Karimbergen Kudaybergenov, Rauaj Djumamuratov (2012)

Open Mathematics

Given a von Neumann algebra M, we consider the central extension E(M) of M. We introduce the topology t c(M) on E(M) generated by a center-valued norm and prove that it coincides with the topology of local convergence in measure on E(M) if and only if M does not have direct summands of type II. We also show that t c(M) restricted to the set E(M)h of self-adjoint elements of E(M) coincides with the order topology on E(M)h if and only if M is a σ-finite type Ifin von Neumann algebra.

Trace inequalities for spaces in spectral duality

O. Tikhonov (1993)

Studia Mathematica

Let (A,e) and (V,K) be an order-unit space and a base-norm space in spectral duality, as in noncommutative spectral theory of Alfsen and Shultz. Let t be a norm lower semicontinuous trace on A, and let φ be a nonnegative convex function on ℝ. It is shown that the mapping a → t(φ(a)) is convex on A. Moreover, the mapping is shown to be nondecreasing if so is φ. Some other similar statements concerning traces and real-valued functions are also obtained.

Triple derivations on von Neumann algebras

Robert Pluta, Bernard Russo (2015)

Studia Mathematica

It is well known that every derivation of a von Neumann algebra into itself is an inner derivation and that every derivation of a von Neumann algebra into its predual is inner. It is less well known that every triple derivation (defined below) of a von Neumann algebra into itself is an inner triple derivation. We examine to what extent all triple derivations of a von Neumann algebra into its predual are inner. This rarely happens but it comes close. We prove a (triple) cohomological...
