Abstract

Let RR_\infty denote the Araki--Woods factor -- the unique separable injective type III1_{1} factor. For extremal almost periodic states φ,ψ(R)\varphi, \psi\in (R_\infty)_*, we show that if Δφ\Delta_\varphi and Δψ\Delta_\psi have the same point spectrum then ψ=φα\psi = \varphi\circ \alpha for some α\alpha\in Aut(R)(R_\infty). Consequently, the extremal almost periodic states on RR_\infty are parameterized by countable dense subgroups of R+\mathbb{R}_+, up to precomposition by automorphisms. As an application, we show that KMS states for generalized gauge actions on Cuntz algebras agree (up to an automorphism) with tensor products of Powers states on their von Neumann completions.
