Abstract

We define the Schur multipliers of a separable von Neumann algebra M with Cartan masa A, generalising the classical Schur multipliers of B(2)B(\ell^2). We characterise these as the normal A-bimodule maps on M. If M contains a direct summand isomorphic to the hyperfinite II_1 factor, then we show that the Schur multipliers arising from the extended Haagerup tensor product AehAA \otimes_{eh} A are strictly contained in the algebra of all Schur multipliers.
