A note on the classification of Gamma factors

Operator Algebras 2019-07-22 v1 Logic

Abstract

One of the earliest invariants introduced in the study of finite von Neumann algebras is the property Gamma of Murray and von Neumann. In this note we prove that it is not possible to classify separable II1\rm{II}_1 factors satisfying the property Gamma up to isomorphism by a Borel measurable assignment of countable structures as invariants. We also show that the same holds true for the full II1\rm{II}_1 factors.
