Abstract

Suppose MM is a tracial von Neumann algebra embeddable into Rω\mathcal R^{\omega} (the ultraproduct of the hyperfinite II1II_1-factor) and XX is an nn-tuple of selfadjoint generators for MM. Denote by Γ(X;m,k,γ)\Gamma(X;m,k,\gamma) the microstate space of XX of order (m,k,γ)(m,k,\gamma). We say that XX is tubular if for any ϵ>0\epsilon >0 there exist mNm \in \mathbb N and γ>0\gamma>0 such that if (x1,...,xn),(y1,...,yn)Γ(X;m,k,γ),(x_1,..., x_n), (y_1, ..., y_n) \in \Gamma(X;m,k,\gamma), then there exists a k×kk \times k unitary uu satisfying uxiuyi2<ϵ|ux_iu^* - y_i|_2 < \epsilon for each 1in.1 \leq i \leq n. We show that the following conditions are equivalent: 1) MM is amenable (i.e., injective). 2) XX is tubular; 3) Any two embeddings of MM into Rω\mathcal R^{\omega} are conjugate by a unitary u in Rω\mathcal R^{\omega}.
