We prove a "quantified" version of the Weyl-von Neumann theorem, more precisely, we estimate the ranks of approximants to compact operators appearing in the Voiculescu's theorem applied to commutative algebras. This allows considerable simplifications in uniform K-homology theory, namely it shows that one can represent all the uniform K-homology classes on a fixed Hilbert space with a fixed *-representation of C_0(X), for a large class of spaces X.
In this paper we calculate some geometric constants for Morrey spaces and small Morrey spaces, namely generalized Von Neumann-Jordan constant, modified Von Neumann-Jordan constants, and Zbáganu constant. All these constants measure the uniformly nonsquareness of the spaces. We obtain that their values are the same as the value of Von Neumann-Jordan constant for Morrey spaces and small Morrey spaces.
Recently, Hartz proved that every commuting contractive classical multishift with non-zero weights satisfies the matrix-version of von Neumann's inequality. We show that this result does not extend to the class of commuting operator-valued multishifts with invertible operator weights. In particular, we show that if $A$ and $B$ are commuting contractive $d$-tuples of operators such that $B$ satisfies the matrix-version of von Neumann's inequality and $(1, \ldots, 1)$ is in the algebraic spectrum of $B$, then the tensor product $A \otimes B$ satisfies the von Neumann's inequality if and only if …
There are discussed some modifications of n-th von Neumann-Jordan constant considered by M. Kato, Y. Takahashi and K. Hashimoto. We study, among others, upper, lower, upper modified and lower modified n-th von Neumann-Jordan constant and relationships between them. There are characterized uniformly non-l_{n}^{1} Banach spaces in terms of the upper modified n-th von Neumann-Jordan constant. Moreover, this constant is calculated explicitly for Lebesgue spaces L^{p} and l^{p} (1\leq p\leq oo).
We will discuss some results of the paper "Asymptotic estimates on the Von Neumann Inequality for homogeneous polynomials", of Galicer D., Muro S. and Sevilla-Peris P. Also, we will see how to extend some of these results using the same techniques in such paper.
A Fan-Theobald-von Neumann system is a triple $(V,W,λ)$, where $V$ and $W$ are real inner product spaces and $λ:V \to W$ is a norm-preserving map satisfying a Fan-Theobald-von Neumann type inequality together with a condition for equality. Examples include Euclidean Jordan algebras, systems induced by certain hyperbolic polynomials, and normal decompositions systems (Eaton triples). In the previous paper (arXiv:1902.06640) we presented some basic properties of such systems and described results on optimization problems dealing with certain combinations of linear/distance and spectral functions…
This paper is mainly devoted to the following question:\ Let $M,N$ be von~Neumann algebras with $M\subset N$, if there is a completely bounded projection $P\colon \ N\to M$, is there automatically a contractive projection $\widetilde P\colon \ N\to M$? We give an affirmative answer with the only restriction that $M$ is assumed semi-finite.
The category of von Neumann correspondences from B to C (or von Neumann B-C-modules) is dual to the category of von Neumann correspondences from C' to B' via a functor that generalizes naturally the functor that sends a von Neumann algebra to its commutant and back. We show that under this duality, called commutant, Rieffel's Eilenberg-Watts theorem (on functors between the categories of representations of two von Neumann algebras) switches into Blecher's Eilenberg-Watts theorem (on functors between the categories of von Neumann modules over two von Neumann algebras) and back.
We explore a duality between von-Neumann's mean ergodic theorem in von-Neumann algebra and Birkhoff's mean ergodic theorem in the pre-dual Banach space of von-Neumann algebras. Besides improving known mean ergodic theorems on von-Neumann algebras, we prove Birkhoff's mean ergodic theorem for any locally compact second countable amenable group action on the pre-dual Banach space.
Generalizing von Neumann's result on type II$_1$ von Neumann algebras, we characterize lattice isomorphisms between projection lattices of arbitrary von Neumann algebras by means of ring isomorphisms between the algebras of locally measurable operators. Moreover, we give a complete description of ring isomorphisms of locally measurable operator algebras when the von Neumann algebras are without type II direct summands.
Richard Kadison showed that not every commutative von Neumann subalgebra of a factor von Neumann algebra is equal to its relative double commutant. We prove that every commutative C*-subalgebra of a centrally prime C*-algebra $B$ equals its relative approximate double commutant. If $B$ is a von Neumann algebra, there is a related distance formula.
We characterize completely bounded normal Jordan $*$-homomorphisms acting on von Neumann algebras. We also characterize completely positive isometries acting on noncommutative $\mathrm{L}^p$-spaces.
We studied complex interpolation noncommutative Hardy space associated with semi-finite von Neumann algebra and extend Pisier's interpolation theorem for this case.
Let $M$ be a finite von Neumann algebra. In the first part, we give asymptotic results about $M$-stable sequences of weak*-continuous mappings which are related with operators belonging to $M$. In the second part, we extend, by a shorter way, similarity results given in [CaFa2] to unbounded semigroups of operators contained in a finite von Neumann algebra.
The aim of this paper is to study the logarithmic submajorisations inequalities for operators in a finite von Neumann algebra. Firstly, some logarithmic submajorisations inequalities due to Garg and Aulja are extended to the case of operators in a finite von Neumann algebra. As an application, we get some new Fuglede-Kadison determinant inequalities of operators in that circumstance. Secondly, we improve and generalize to the setting of finite von Neumann algebras, a generalized Hölder type generalized singular numbers inequality.
We prove that the group-measure-space von Neumann algebra $L^\infty(T^2) \rtimes SL(2,Z)$ is solid. The proof uses topological amenability of the action of $SL(2,Z)$ on the Higson corona of $Z^2$.
We introduce the fundamental group $F(\mathcal{M})$ of a finite von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$ with finite dimensional normal trace space. The form of $F(\mathcal{M})$ is completely determined. Moreover, there exists a finite von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$ with finite dimensional normal trace space such that $F(\mathcal{M})=G$ for any conceivable groups $G$ as fundamental group.
We study the $t$-deformation of gaussian von Neumann algebras. They appear as example in the theories of Interacting Fock spaces and conditionally free products. When the number of generators is fixed, it is proved that if $t$ sufficiently close to 1, then these algebras do not depend on $t$. In the same way, the notion of conditionally free von Neumann algebras often coincides with freeness.
The goal of the paper is to study a topology generated by the star order on von Neumann algebras. In particular, it is proved that the order topology under investigation is finer than $σ$-strong* topology. On the other hand, we show that it is comparable with the norm topology if and only if the von Neumann algebra is finite-dimensional.
We investigate the Schatten-von Neumann properties of pseudo-differential operators using the method proposed by A. Boulkhemair in \cite{Boulkhemair 2}. The symbols are elements of the ideals $S_{w}^{p}$ of the Sjöstrand algebra $S_{w}$.
Let ${\mathcal M}$ be a von Neumann algebra with no central summands of type I$_1$. It is shown that every nonlinear $ξ-$Lie derivation ($ξ\neq 1$) on $\mathcal M$ is an additive derivation.
In this paper, I introduce the concept of $ (\upvarphi, \uppsi) $-finite von Neumann algebras and I show that if $ \mathscr{M} $ is a finite and $ (\upvarphi, \uppsi) $-finite von Neumann algebra togather with condition $ \{ \big( Δ(u+v)-Δ(u)-Δ(v)\big)^{*}\} \subseteq \uppsi(\mathscr{M}) $, then each (approximately) 2-local $ (\upvarphi, \uppsi) $-derivation $ δ$ on $ \mathscr{M} $, is a $ (\upvarphi, \uppsi) $-derivation.
We give an explicit formula for the time projection in an arbitrary von Neumann algebra from which all its basic properties can be easily derived. The analysis of the situation when this time projection is a conditional expectation is also performed.
The eigenvectors of an ergodic semigroup of linear normal positive unital maps on a von Neumann algebra are described. Moreover, it is shown by means of examples, that mere positivity of the maps in question is not sufficient for Frobenius theory as in S. Albeverio and R. Høegh-Krohn, \emph{Frobenius theory of positive maps of von Neumann algebras}, Comm. Math. Phys. \bf{64}(1978), 83--94, to hold.
Recently, M. Daws introduced a notion of co-representation of abelian Hopf--von Neumann algebras on general reflexive Banach spaces. In this note, we show that this notion cannot be extended beyond subhomogeneous Hopf--von Neumann algebras. The key is our observation that, for a von Neumann algebra $\M$ and a reflexive operator space $E$, the normal spatial tensor product $\M \bar{\tensor} \CB(E)$ is a Banach algebra if and only if $\M$ is subhomogeneous or $E$ is completely isomorphic to column Hilbert space.
We prove that the predual of any von Neumann algebra is $1$-Plichko, i.e., it has a countably $1$-norming Markushevich basis. This answers a question of the third author who proved the same for preduals of semifinite von Neumann algebras. As a corollary we obtain an easier proof of a result of U.~Haagerup that the predual of any von Neumann algebra enjoys the separable complementation property. We further prove that the self-adjoint part of the predual is $1$-Plichko as well.
We discuss the Krein--von Neumann extensions of three Laplacian-type operators -- on discrete graphs, quantum graphs, and domains. In passing we present a class of one-dimensional elliptic operators such that for any $n\in \mathbb N$ infinitely many elements of the class have $n$-dimensional null space.
We revisit the Krein-von Neumann extension in the case where the underlying symmetric operator is strictly positive and apply this to derive the explicit form of the Krein-von Neumann extension for singular, general (i.e., three-coefficient) Sturm-Liouville operators on arbitrary intervals. In particular, the boundary conditions for the Krein-von Neumann extension of the strictly positive minimal Sturm-Liouville operator are explicitly expressed in terms of generalized boundary values adapted to the (possible) singularity structure of the coefficients near an interval endpoint.
A famous theorem due to Weyl and von Neumann asserts that two bounded self-adjoint operators are unitarily equivalent modulo the compacts, if and only if their essential spectrum agree. The above theorem does not hold for unbounded operators. Nevertheless, there exist closed subsets $M$ of $\mathbb{R}$ on which the Weyl--von Neumann Theorem hold: all (not necessarily bounded) self-adjoint operators with essential spectrum $M$ are unitarily equivalent modulo the compacts. In this paper, we determine exactly which $M$ satisfies this property.
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 on M. Then we show that there is a version of the center-valued trace which extends the dimension function, even when M is not sigma-finite. Finally we prove that (P(M)/~) is a complete lattice, a fact which has an interesting reformulation in terms of representations.
In this paper we consider permutations of sequences of partitions, obtaining a result which parallels von Neumann's theorem on permutations of dense sequences and uniformly distributed sequences of points.
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 (superrigid) groups and actions that can be entirely reconstructed from their von Neumann algebras.
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 (W$^*$-superrigid) actions that can be completely recovered from their von Neumann algebras and II$_1$ factors that have a unique Cartan subalgebra. We also present cocycle superrigidity theorems and some of their applications to orbit equivalence. Finally, we discuss several recent rigidity results for von Neumann algebras associated to groups.
In this paper, we present an infinitesimal version of the Stone-von Neumann Theorem. This work was motivated by the need to formulate the uniqueness property of the Heisenberg Commutation Relation purely in terms of unbounded operators.
We study the structure of the generator of a symmetric, conservative quantum dynamical semigroup with norm-bounded generator on a von Neumann algebra equipped with a faithful semifinite trace. For von Neumann algebras with abelian commutant (i.e. type I von Neumann algebras), we give a necessary and sufficient algebraic condition for the generator of such a semigroup to be written as a sum of square of self-adjoint derivations of the von Neumann algebra. This generalizes some of the results obtained by Albeverio, H(phi)egh-Krohn and Olsen [Alb] for the special case of the finite dimensional ma…
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.
The celebrated Sz.-Nagy and Foias and Ando theorems state that a single contraction, or a pair of commuting contractions, acting on a Hilbert space always possesses isometric dilation and subsequently satisfies the von Neumann inequality for polynomials in $\mathbb{C}[z]$ or $\mathbb{C}[z_1, z_2]$, respectively. However, in general, neither the existence of isometric dilation nor the von Neumann inequality holds for $n$-tuples, $n \geq 3$, of commuting contractions. The goal of this paper is to provide a taste of the isometric dilations, the von Neumann inequality and a sharper version of von …
We extend the Koopman-von Neumann convergence condition on the Cesàro mean to the context of a Dedekind complete Riesz space with weak order unit. As a consequence, a characterisation of conditional weak mixing is given in the Riesz space setting. The results are applied to convergence in $L^1$.
We obtain a number of explicit estimates for quasi-norms of pseudo-differential operators in the Schatten-von Neumann classes $S_q$ with $0<q\le 1$. The estimates are applied to derive semi-classical bounds for operators with smooth or non-smooth symbols.
In this article, we prove various smooth uncertainty principles on von Neumann bi-algebras, which unify numbers of uncertainty principles on quantum symmetries, such as subfactors, and fusion bi-algebras etc, studied in quantum Fourier analysis. We also obtain Widgerson-Wigderson type uncertainty principles for von Neumann bi-algebras. Moreover, we give a complete answer to a conjecture proposed by A. Wigderson and Y. Wigderson.
