Commutativity of projections and characterization of traces on Von Neumann algebras

We find new necessary and sufficient conditions for the commutativity of projections in terms of operator inequalities. We apply these inequalities to characterize a trace on von Neumann algebras in the class of all positive normal functionals. We obtain some characterization of a trace on von Neumann algebras in terms of the commutativity of products of projections under a weight.     

Commutation of projections and trace characterization on von Neumann algebras. II

We obtain new necessary and sufficient commutation conditions for projections in terms of operator inequalities. These inequalities are applied for trace characterization on von Neumann algebras for the class of all positive normal functionals.

Lifting endomorphisms to automorphisms

Normal endomorphisms of von Neumann algebras need not be extendable to automorphisms of a larger von Neumann algebra, but they always have asymptotic lifts. We describe the structure of endomorphisms and their asymptotic lifts in some detail, and apply those results to complete the identification of asymptotic lifts of unital completely positive linear maps on von Neumann algebras in terms of their minimal dilations to endomorphisms.

     

On classification of von Neumann algebras in a space with conjugation

In this paper for the first time we show that in the complex Hilbert space with the conjugation operator a classification of von Neumann algebras is possible. Similar classification is known for Krein spaces. Projectors (idempotents) often serve as elements of quantum logic. In operator theories projectors play the role of elements from which bounded operators are constructed. For one special case we show that for any projector from von Neumann algebra which acts in a separable Hilbert space one can always find conjugation operator J adjoined to this algebra for which the projector is self-adjoint.     

Maximal Abelian von Neumann Algebras and Toeplitz Operators with Separately Radial Symbols

This paper mainly concerns abelian von Neumann algebras generated by Toeplitz operators on weighted Bergman spaces. Recently a family of abelian w^*-closed Toeplitz algebras has been obtained (see [5,6,7,8]). We show that this algebra is maximal abelian and is singly generated by a Toeplitz operator with a “common” symbol. A characterization for Toeplitz operators with radial symbols is obtained and generalized to the high dimensional case. We give several examples for abelian von Neumann algebras in the case of high dimensional weighted Bergman spaces, which are different from the one dimensional case.     

Derivations of noncommutative Arens algebras

The present paper deals with derivations of noncommutative Arens algebras. We prove that every derivation of an Arens algebra associated with a von Neumann algebra and a faithful normal finite trace is inner. In particular, each derivation on such algebras is automatically continuous in the natural topology, and in the commutative case, even for semi-finite traces, all derivations are identically zero. At the same time, the existence of noninner derivations is proved for noncommutative Arens algebras with a semi-finite but nonfinite trace.     

Von Neumann Algebras and Hilbert Quantales

When A is a von Neumann algebra, the set of all weakly closed linear subspaces forms a Gelfand quantale, Max_w A. We prove that Max_w A is a von Neumann quantale for all von Neumann algebras A. The natural morphism from Max_w A to the Hilbert quantale on the lattice of weakly closed right ideals of A is, in general, not an isomorphism. However, when A is a von Neumann factor, its restriction to right-sided elements is an isomorphism and this leads to a new characterization of von Neumann factors.     

Type II non-commutative geometry. I. Dixmier trace in von Neumann algebras

We define the notion of Connes-von Neumann spectral triple and consider the associated index problem. We compute the analytic Chern-Connes character of such a generalized spectral triple and prove the corresponding local formula for its Hochschild class. This formula involves the Dixmier trace for II_∞ von Neumann algebras. In the case of foliations, we identify this Dixmier trace with the corresponding measured Wodzicki residue.     

Vertex-Compressed Subalgebras of a Graph von Neumann Algebra

In Cho (Acta Appl. Math. 95:95–134, 2007 and Complex Anal. Oper. Theory 1:367–398, 2007), we introduced Graph von Neumann Algebras which are the (groupoid) crossed product algebras of von Neumann algebras and graph groupoids via graph-representations, which are groupoid actions. In Cho (Acta Appl. Math. 95:95–134, 2007), we showed that such crossed product algebras have the amalgamated reduced free probabilistic properties, where the reduction is totally depending on given directed graphs. Moreover, in Cho (Complex Anal. Oper. Theory 1:367–398, 2007), we characterize each amalgamated free blocks of graph von Neumann algebras: we showed that they are characterized by the well-known von Neumann algebras: Classical group crossed product algebras and (operator-valued) matricial algebras. This shows that we can provide a nicer way to investigate such groupoid crossed product algebras, since we only need to concentrate on studying graph groupoids and characterized algebras. How about the compressed subalgebras of them? i.e., how about the inner (cornered) structures of a graph von Neumann algebra? In this paper, we will provides the answer of this question. Consequently, we show that vertex-compressed subalgebras of a graph von Neumann algebra are characterized by other graph von Neumann algebras. This gives the full characterization of the vertex-compressed subalgebras of a graph von Neumann algebra, by other graph von Neumann algebras.     

On One Regularity Condition for Quantum Quadratic Stochastic Processes

We present necessary and sufficient conditions for the validity of a regularity condition for homogeneous quantum quadratic stochastic processes defined on von Neumann algebras.     

Products of projections in von Neumann algebras

We describe the elements of von Neumann algebras which can be represented as products of orthogonal projections and idempotents, and estimate the minimal number of terms in the product.     

Weak-local derivations and homomorphisms on C*-algebras

We prove that every weak-local derivation on a C*-algebra is continuous, and the same conclusion remains valid for weak*-local derivations on von Neumann algebras. We further show that weak-local derivations on C*-algebras and weak*-local derivations on von Neumann algebras are derivations. We also study the connections between bilocal derivations and bilocal*-automorphism with our notions of extreme-strong-local derivations and automorphisms.     

Tracial algebras and an embedding theorem

We prove that every positive trace on a countably generated ∗-algebra can be approximated by positive traces on algebras of generic matrices. This implies that every countably generated tracial ∗-algebra can be embedded into a metric ultraproduct of generic matrix algebras. As a particular consequence, every finite von Neumann algebra with separable pre-dual can be embedded into an ultraproduct of tracial ∗-algebras, which as ∗-algebras embed into a matrix-ring over a commutative algebra.     

VITALI-HAHN-SAKS THEOREM FOR VECTOR MEASURES ON OPERATOR ALGEBRAS

We show that the direct generalization of the Vitali–Hahn–Sakstheorem is not valid for all measures on von Neumann algebras.By applying a general equicontinuity argument, we prove a directextension of the Vitali–Hahn–Saks theorem for awide range of vector measures on von Neumann algebra s and JBWalgebras. We also characterize relatively compact sets of vectormeasures on operator algebras.     

Generalized derivations associated with Hochschild 2-cocycles on some algebras

We investigate a new type of generalized derivations associated with Hochschild 2-cocycles which was introduced by A. Nakajima. We show that every generalized Jordan derivation of this type from CSL algebras or von Neumann algebras into themselves is a generalized derivation under some reasonable conditions. We also study generalized derivable mappings at zero point associated with Hochschild 2-cocycles on CSL algebras.

Some properties of graphs of closed operators

In this paper we study some properties of graphs of closed operators in Hilbert spaces. We construct representations of von Neumann algebras induced by graphs of closed operators. We describe some classes of closed operators in terms of their characteristic matrices and study some properties of operations on graphs of closed operators.     

Stochastic coupling for von Neumann algebras

We consider even and odd stochastic transitions of von Neumann algebras when dual mappings intertwine (couple) modular groups of the corresponding states (with the occurrence of a sign exchange for the odd case). We show that one can define modular objects and cones associated to linear combinations of von Neumann algebras, which generalize objects and cones in the standard modular theory. In the odd case, we find sufficient conditions for the intertwining property and consider several applications to noncommutative Markov processes.
