Abstract: | Let M be a von Neumann algebra with separating and cyclic vector ξ0. The map with x?M has a least closed extension S. Tomita proved that the isometric involution J and the positive self-adjoint operator Δ obtained from the polar decomposition of S satisfy JMJ = M′ and ΔitMΔ?it = M for any real t. More generally, he obtained similar results for the left von Neumann algebra of any generalized Hilbert algebra. In this paper a shorter proof of his results is given. |
