Factoriality and Connes' invariant T(M) for free products of von Neumann algebras.
Finite rank approximation and semidiscreteness for linear operators
Given a completely bounded map from an operator space into a von Neumann algebra (or merely a unital dual algebra) , we define to be -semidiscrete if for any operator algebra , the tensor operator is bounded from into , with norm less than . We investigate this property and characterize it by suitable approximation properties, thus generalizing the Choi-Effros characterization of semidiscrete von Neumann algebras. Our work is an extension of some recent work of Pisier on an analogous...
Finiteness of von Neumann algebras relative to a group of automorphisms.
