Abstract

Let MM be a II1II_1-factor with trace τ\tau, the linear subspaces of L2(M,τ)L^2(M,\tau) are not just common Hilbert spaces, but they have additional structure. We introduce the notion of a cyclic linear space by taking those properties as axioms. In Sec.2 we formulate the following problem: "does every cyclic Hilbert space embed into L2(M,τ)L^2(M,\tau), for some MM?". An affirmative answer would imply the existence of an algorithm to check Connes' embedding Conjecture. In Sec.3 we make a first step towards the answer of the previous question.
