Factoriality and Connes' invariant T(M) for free products of von Neumann algebras.
We study a certain class of von Neumann algebras generated by selfadjoint elements , where satisfy the general commutation relations: . We assume that the operator T for which the constants 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...
