To the theory of operator monotone and operator convex functions

We prove that a real function is operator monotone (operator convex) if the corresponding monotonicity (convexity) inequalities are valid for some normal state on the algebra of all bounded operators in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. We describe the class of convex operator functions with respect to a given von Neumann algebra in dependence of types of direct summands in this algebra. We prove that if a function from ℝ⁺ into ℝ⁺ is monotone with respect to a von Neumann algebra, then it is also operator monotone in the sense of the natural order on the set of positive self-adjoint operators affiliated with this algebra.

Preduals of von Neumann Algebras

Proofs of two assertions are sketched. 1) If the Banach space of a von Neumann algebra A is the third dual of some Banach space, then the space A is isometrically isomorphic to the second dual of some von Neumann algebra A and the von Neumann algebra A is uniquely determined by its enveloping von Neumann algebra (up to von Neumann algebra isomorphism) and is the unique second predual of A (up to isometric isomorphism of Banach spaces). 2) An infinite-dimensional von Neumann algebra cannot have preduals of all orders.     

On Markushevich bases in preduals of von Neumann algebras

We prove that the predual of any von Neumann algebra is 1-Plichko, i.e., it has a countably 1-norming Markushevich basis. This answers a question of the third author who proved the same for preduals of semifinite von Neumann algebras. As a corollary we obtain an easier proof of a result of U. Haagerup that the predual of any von Neumann algebra enjoys the separable complementation property. We further prove that the selfadjoint part of the predual is 1-Plichko as well.     

Projections in a Synaptic Algebra

A synaptic algebra is an abstract version of the partially ordered Jordan algebra of all bounded Hermitian operators on a Hilbert space. We review the basic features of a synaptic algebra and then focus on the interaction between a synaptic algebra and its orthomodular lattice of projections. Each element in a synaptic algebra determines and is determined by a one-parameter family of projections—its spectral resolution. We observe that a synaptic algebra is commutative if and only if its projection lattice is boolean, and we prove that any commutative synaptic algebra is isomorphic to a subalgebra of the Banach algebra of all continuous functions on the Stone space of its boolean algebra of projections. We study the so-called range-closed elements of a synaptic algebra, prove that (von Neumann) regular elements are range-closed, relate certain range-closed elements to modular pairs of projections, show that the projections in a synaptic algebra form an M-symmetric orthomodular lattice, and give several sufficient conditions for modularity of the projection lattice.     

Model theory of operator algebras II: model theory

We introduce a version of logic for metric structures suitable for applications to C*-algebras and tracial von Neumann algebras. We also prove a purely model-theoretic result to the effect that the theory of a separable metric structure is stable if and only if all of its ultrapowers associated with nonprincipal ultrafilters on ? are isomorphic even when the Continuum Hypothesis fails.     

Affiliated subspaces and infiniteness of von Neumann algebras

We show that the structural properties of von Neumann algebra s are connected with the metric and order theoretic properties of various classes of affiliated subspaces. Among others we show that properly infinite von Neumann algebra s always admit an affiliated subspace for which (1) closed and orthogonally closed affiliated subspaces are different; (2) splitting and quasi‐splitting affiliated subspaces do not coincide. We provide an involved construction showing that concepts of splitting and quasi‐splitting subspaces are non‐equivalent in any GNS representation space arising from a faithful normal state on a Type I factor. We are putting together the theory of quasi‐splitting subspaces developed for inner product spaces on one side and the modular theory of von Neumann algebra s on the other side.     

A duality principle for groups

The duality principle for Gabor frames states that a Gabor sequence obtained by a time-frequency lattice is a frame for L²(Rd) if and only if the associated adjoint Gabor sequence is a Riesz sequence. We prove that this duality principle extends to any dual pairs of projective unitary representations of countable groups. We examine the existence problem of dual pairs and establish some connection with classification problems for II₁ factors. While in general such a pair may not exist for some groups, we show that such a dual pair always exists for every subrepresentation of the left regular unitary representation when G is an abelian infinite countable group or an amenable ICC group. For free groups with finitely many generators, the existence problem of such a dual pair is equivalent to the well-known problem about the classification of free group von Neumann algebras.     

The Daugavet Property of C*-Algebras and Non-commutative Lp-Spaces

We prove that a C ^*-algebra A or a predual N _* of a von Neumann algebra N has the Daugavet property if and only if A (or N) is non-atomic. We also prove a similar (although somewhat weaker) result for non-commutative L _p-spaces corresponding to non-atomic von Neumann algebras.     

Completely positive projections on a Hilbert space

The purpose of this paper is to prove that a completely positive projection on a Hilbert space associated with a standard form of a von Neumann algebra induces the existence of a conditional expectation of the von Neumann algebra with respect to a normal state, and we consider the application to a standard form of an injective von Neumann algebra.

Locally von Neumann algebras II

In this paper, we will prove some properties of locally von Neumann algebras. In particular, we will show that every locally von Neumann algebra is the dual of a certain locally convex space and also, we will show the existence of a polar decomposition for every element in a locally von Neumann algebra.

Almost-Everywhere Convergence and (o)-Convergence in Rings of Measurable Operators Associated with a Finite von Neumann Algebra

We study the relationship between (o)-convergence and almost-everywhere convergence in the Hermite part of the ring of unbounded measurable operators associated with a finite von Neumann algebra. In particular, we prove a theorem according to which (o)-convergence and almost-everywhere convergence are equivalent if and only if the von Neumann algebra is of the type I.

Lax-integrable Laberge–Mathieu hierarchy of supersymmetric nonlinear dynamical systems and its finite-dimensional reduction of Neumann type

A compatibly bi-Hamiltonian Laberge–Mathieu hierarchy of supersymmetric nonlinear dynamical systems is obtained by using a relation for the Casimir functionals of the central extension of a Lie algebra of superconformal even vector fields of two anticommuting variables. Its matrix Lax representation is determined by using the property of the gradient of the supertrace of the monodromy supermatrix for the corresponding matrix spectral problem. For a supersymmetric Laberge–Mathieu hierarchy, we develop a method for reduction to a nonlocal finite-dimensional invariant subspace of the Neumann type. We prove the existence of a canonical even supersymplectic structure on this subspace and the Lax–Liouville integrability of the reduced commuting vector fields generated by the hierarchy.     

正交酉元列在有限von Neumann代数的迹自由积中的应用

令M_1为一个有限的von Neumann代数,τ_1为其上的一个忠实正规迹态.我们将证明,如果M_1中存在一列两两正交的酉元列{u_k:k∈N},则对任意具有忠实正规迹态τ_2的有限von Neumann代数M_2(≠C),迹自由积(M_1,τ_1)*(M_2,τ_2)是Ⅱ_1型因子.作为推论可以得出,如果M_1有一个von Neumann子代数N不包含最小投影,则对任意具有忠实迹态τ_2的有限von Neumann代数M_2(≠C),迹自由积(M_1,τ_1)*(M_2,τ_2)是Ⅱ_1型因子.     

Facially Symmetric Spaces and Predual Ones of Hermitian Part of von Neumann Algebras

We prove that predual of real part of von Neumann algebra is strongly facially symmetric space if and only if is it a direct sum of Abelian algebra and algebra of I₂ type. At that, neutral strongly facially symmetric space is predual to Abelian algebra, only.     

Noncommutative Orlicz spaces associated to a state II

On density of transitive operator algebras

In this paper we study the transitive algebra question by considering the invariant subspace problem relative to von Neumann algebras. We prove that the algebra (not necessarily ∗) generated by a pair of sums of two unitary generators of L(F_∞) and its commutant is strong-operator dense in B(H). The relations between the transitive algebra question and the invariant subspace problem relative to some von Neumann algebras are discussed.
