The slice map problem for $\sigma $-weakly closed subspaces of von Neumann algebras

Weakly Exact Von Neumann Algebras

The theory of exact C∗-algebras was introduced by Kirchberg and has been influential in recent development of C∗-algebras. A fundamental result on exact C∗-algebras is a local characterization of exactness. The notion of weakly exact von Neumann algebras was also introduced by Kirchberg. In this paper, we give a local characterization of weak exactness. As a corollary, we prove that a discrete ...

Remarks on Complemented Subspaces of Von-neumann Algebras*

In this note we include two remarks about bounded (not necessarily contractive) linear projections on a von Neumann-algebra. We show that if M is a von Neumann-subalgebra of B(H) which is complemented in B(H) and isomorphic to M ⊗ M then M is injective (or equivalently M is contractively complemented). We do not know how to get rid of the second assumption on M. In the second part,we show that ...

The hochschild cohomology problem for von neumann algebras.

In 1967, when Kadison and Ringrose began the development of continuous cohomology theory for operator algebras, they conjectured that the cohomology groups Hn(M, M), n >/= 1, for a von Neumann algebra M, should all be zero. This conjecture, which has important structural implications for von Neumann algebras, has been solved affirmatively in the type I, IIinfinity, and III cases, leaving open o...

Various topological forms of Von Neumann regularity in Banach algebras

We study topological von Neumann regularity and principal von Neumann regularity of Banach algebras. Our main objective is comparing these two types of Banach algebras and some other known Banach algebras with one another. In particular, we show that the class of topologically von Neumann regular Banach algebras contains all $C^*$-algebras, group algebras of compact abelian groups and ...
