Factoriality of von Neumann algebras connected with general commutation relations-finite dimensional case

Ilona Królak (2006)

Banach Center Publications

We study a certain class of von Neumann algebras generated by selfadjoint elements ω i = a i + a i , where a i , a i satisfy the general commutation relations: a i a j = r , s t j i r s a r a s + δ i j I d . We assume that the operator T for which the constants t j i r s are matrix coefficients satisfies the braid relation. Such algebras were investigated in [BSp] and [K] where the positivity of the Fock representation and factoriality in the case of infinite dimensional underlying space were shown. In this paper we prove that under certain conditions on the number of generators...

Invariant subspaces for operators in a general II1-factor

Uffe Haagerup, Hanne Schultz (2009)

Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS

Let ℳ be a von Neumann factor of type II1 with a normalized trace τ. In 1983 L. G. Brown showed that to every operator T∈ℳ one can in a natural way associate a spectral distribution measure μ T (now called the Brown measure of T), which is a probability measure in ℂ with support in the spectrum σ(T) of T. In this paper it is shown that for every T∈ℳ and every Borel set B in ℂ, there is a unique closed T-invariant subspace 𝒦 = 𝒦 T ( B ) affiliated with ℳ, such that the Brown measure of T | 𝒦 is concentrated on B...
