Gaussian elements in CCR algebras

Abstract

A system of matrix units in the Weyl algebra of convolution type is constructed with the aid of a Gaussian element so that it includes von Neumann's minimal projection, which explicitly shows that the associated C*-algebra is a compact operator algebra. The spectral decomposition of an arbitrary Gaussian element is then worked out in terms of the diagonal projections in the matrix units.
