Weak exactness and amalgamated free product of von Neumann algebras

Operator Algebras 2024-03-20 v1

Abstract

We show that the amalgamated free product of weakly exact von Neumann algebras is weakly exact. This is done by using a universal property of Toeplitz-Pimsner algebras and a locally convex topology on bimodules of von Neumann algebras, which is used to characterize weakly exact von Neumann algebras.
