The Borel space of von Neumann algebras on a separable Hilbert space

The Operator Hilbert Space OH and TYPE III von Neumann Algebras

We prove that the operator Hilbert space OH does not embed completely isomorphically into the predual of a semi-finite von Neumann algebra. This complements Junge’s recent result that it admits such an embedding in the non semi-finite case. ——————– In remarkable recent work [5], Marius Junge proves that the operator Hilbert space OH (from [8], see also [9]) embeds completely isomorphically (c.i...

Nonlinear $*$-Lie higher derivations on factor von Neumann algebras

Let $mathcal M$ be a factor von Neumann algebra. It is shown that every nonlinear $*$-Lie higher derivation$D={phi_{n}}_{ninmathbb{N}}$ on $mathcal M$ is additive. In particular, if $mathcal M$ is infinite type $I$factor, a concrete characterization of $D$ is given.

Separable Hilbert space in Loop Quantum Gravity

We study the separability of the state space of loop quantum gravity. In the standard construction, the kinematical Hilbert space of the diffeomorphism-invariant states is nonseparable. This is a consequence of the fact that the knot-space of the equivalence classes of graphs under diffeomorphisms is noncountable. However, the continuous moduli labeling these classes do not appear to affect the...

A Morita Theorem for Algebras of Operators on Hilbert Space

We show that two operator algebras are strongly Morita equivalent (in the sense of Blecher, Muhly and Paulsen) if and only if their categories of operator modules are equivalent via completely contractive functors. Moreover, any such functor is completely isometrically isomorphic to the Haagerup tensor product (= interior tensor product) with a strong Morita equivalence bimodule. Date: Septembe...
