In this paper we present a generalization of the Radon-Nikodym theorem proved by Pedersen and Takesaki. Given a normal, semifinite and faithful (n.s.f.) weight $\phi$ on a von Neumann algebra M and a strictly positive operator $\delta$,…

In this paper we study three aspects of (P(M)/~), the set of Murray-von Neumann equivalence classes of projections in a von Neumann algebra M. First we determine the topological structure that (P(M)/~) inherits from the operator topologies…

Using the notion of order convergent nets, we develop an order-theoretic approach to differentiable functions on Archimedean complex $\Phi$-algebras. Most notably, we improve the Cauchy-Hadamard formulas for universally complete complex…

In this short note we give some techniques for constructing, starting from a {\it sufficient} family $\mc F$ of semifinite or finite traces on a von Neumann algebra $\M$, a new trace which is faithful.

Given a von Neumann algebra $M$ with a faithful normal finite trace, we introduce the so called finite tracial algebra $M_f$ as the intersection of $L_p$-spaces $L_p(M, \mu)$ over all $p \geq 1$ and over all faithful normal finite traces…

It is consistent that every weakly distributive complete ccc Boolean algebra carries a strictly positive Maharam submeasure.

Admissible vectors lead to frames or coherent states under the action of a group by means of square integrable representations. This work shows that admissible vectors can be seen as weights with central support on the (left) group von…

The definition of Choi matrices for linear maps on the n x n matrices is extended to factors, and the basic theorems for Choi matrices are proved in this general context.

Given an Archimedean vector lattice $E$, we present one elementary property of $E$ which is equivalent to the entire traditional list of axioms which makes $E$ a $\Phi$-algebra. We call a vector lattice with this property ``square closed".…

We define the notion of von Neumann spectral triple and consider the associated index problem. We compute the analytic Chern-Connes character of such a von Neumann spectral triple and prove the corresponding local formula for its Hochschild…

It is shown that the *-algebra of all (closed densely defined linear) operators affiliated with a finite type I von Neumann algebra admits a unique center-valued trace, which turns out to be, in a sense, normal. It is also demonstrated that…

We take the trace of Von-Neumann's ergodic theorem and get a trace formula of a unitary matrix family. It is an extension of Poisson summation formula in higher dimension. We also construct a family of crystalline measure with complex…

Several techniques together with some partial answers are given to the questions of factoriality, type classification and fullness for amalgamated free product von Neumann algebras.

We give a fresh account of the astonishing interplay between abelian von Neumann algebras, L^\infty-spaces and measure algebras, including an exposition of Maharam's theorem from the von Neumann algebra perspective.

We generalize von Neumann's well-known trace inequality, as well as related eigenvalue inequalities for hermitian matrices, to Schatten-class operators between complex Hilbert spaces of infinite dimension. To this end, we exploit some…

We survey some of the progress made recently in the classification of von Neumann algebras arising from countable groups and their measure preserving actions on probability spaces. We emphasize results which provide classes of…

It is shown that all 2-quasitraces on a unital exact C*-algebra are traces. As consequences one gets: (1) Every stably finite exact unital C*-algebra has a tracial state, and (2) if an AW*-factor of type II_1 is generated (as an…

Let $M$ be a von Neumann algebra equipped with a normal semi-finite faithful trace (nsf trace in short) and let $T\colon M\to M$ be a contraction. We say that $T$ is absolutely dilatable if there exist another von Neumann algebra $M'$…

In this talk, I will survey recent progress made on the classification of von Neumann algebras arising from countable groups and their actions on probability spaces. In particular, I will present the first results which provide classes of…
