Spectral theory and functional calculus for unbounded self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space are usually treated through von Neumann's Cayley transform. Based on ideas of Woronowicz, we redevelop this theory from the point of view of…

In this work, we introduce the concept of the direct integral of locally Hilbert spaces by generalizing the classical notion of a measure space to that of a locally measure space. We establish that the direct integral of a family of locally…

The Kubo-Ando theory deals with connections for positive bounded operators. On the other hand, in various analysis related to von Neumann algebras it is impossible to avoid unbounded operators. In this article we try to extend a notion of…

We carry out a careful study of operator algebras associated with Delone dynamical systems. A von Neumann algebra is defined using noncommutative integration theory. Features of these algebras and the operators they contain are discussed.…

We consider the Aluthge transform $|T|^{1/2}U|T|^{1/2}$ of a Hilbert space operator $T$, where $T=U|T|$ is the polar decomposition of $T$. We prove that the map that sends $T$ to its Aluthge transform is continuous with respect to the norm…

We provide a complete characterization of theories of tracial von Neumann algebras that admit quantifier elimination. We also show that the theory of a separable tracial von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{N}$ is never model complete if its…

The dimension of any module over an algebra of affiliated operators ${\mathcal U}$ of a finite von Neumann algebra ${\mathcal A}$ is defined using a trace on ${\mathcal A}.$ All zero-dimensional ${\mathcal U}$-modules constitute the torsion…

In this paper, we study the structure of operators in a type $\mathrm{I}_{n}$ von Neumann algebra $\mathscr{A}$. Inspired by the Jordan canonical form theorem, our main motivation is to figure out the relation between the structure of an…

We present a new and simple approach to the theory of multiple operator integrals that applies to unbounded operators affiliated with general von Neumann algebras. For semifinite von Neumann algebras we give applications to the Fr\'echet…

It is shown that each linear operator on a separable Hilbert space which generates a finite type I von Neumann algebra has, up to unitary equivalence, a unique representation as a direct integral of inflations of mutually unitary…

Given an $n\times n$ random matrix $X_n$ with i.i.d. entries of unit variance, the circular law says that the empirical spectral distribution (ESD) of $X_n/\sqrt{n}$ converges to the uniform measure on the unit disk. Let $M_n$ be a…

For a countably decomposable finite von Neumann algebra $\mathscr{R}$, we show that any choice of a faithful normal tracial state on $\mathscr{R}$ engenders the same measure topology on $\mathscr{R}$ in the sense of Nelson (J. Func. Anal.,…

In this work, we introduce the concept of the direct integral of locally Hilbert spaces. This notion is formulated such that the direct integral of locally Hilbert spaces forms a locally Hilbert space. We then define two classes of locally…

Relativizing an idea from multiplicity theory, we say that an element x of a von Neumann algebra M is n-divisible if (W*(x)' cap M) unitally contains a factor of type I_n. We decide the density of the n-divisible operators, for various n,…
