A Murray-von Neumann Type Classification of C∗-algebras

چکیده
We define type A, type B, type C as well as C∗-semi-finite C∗-algebras. It is shown that a von Neumann algebra is a type A, type B, type C or C∗-semi-finite C∗-algebra if and only if it is, respectively, a type I, type II, type III or semi-finite von Neumann algebra. Moreover, any type I C∗-algebra is of type A (actually, type A coincides with the discreteness as defined by Peligrad and Zsidó), and any type II C∗-algebra (as defined by Cuntz and Pedersen) is of type B. Moreover, any type C C∗-algebra is of type III (in the sense of Cuntz and Pedersen), any purely infinite C∗-algebra (in the sense of Kirchberg and Rørdam) with real rank zero is of type C, and any separable purely infinite C∗-algebra with stable rank one is also of type C. We also prove that type A, type B, type C and C∗-semi-finiteness are stable under hereditary C∗-subalgebras, multiplier algebras and strong Morita equivalence. Furthermore, any C∗-algebra A contains a largest type A closed ideal JA, a largest type B closed ideal JB, a largest type C closed ideal JC as well as a largest C∗-semi-finite closed ideal Jsf. Among them, we have JA + JB being an essential ideal of Jsf, and JA + JB + JC being an essential ideal of A. On the other hand, A/JC is always C∗-semi-finite, and if A is C∗-semi-finite, then A/JB is of type A. Finally, we show that these results hold if type A, type B, type C and C∗-semifiniteness are replaced by discreteness, type II, type III and semi-finiteness (as defined by Cuntz and Pedersen), respectively.

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 ...
متن کاملNonlinear $*$-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.
متن کاملA double commutant theorem for Murray-von Neumann algebras.
Murray-von Neumann algebras are algebras of operators affiliated with finite von Neumann algebras. In this article, we study commutativity and affiliation of self-adjoint operators (possibly unbounded). We show that a maximal abelian self-adjoint subalgebra A of the Murray-von Neumann algebra A(f)(R) associated with a finite von Neumann algebra R is the Murray-von Neumann algebra A(f)(A(0)), wh...

A note on derivations of Murray-von Neumann algebras.
A Murray-von Neumann algebra is the algebra of operators affiliated with a finite von Neumann algebra. In this article, we first present a brief introduction to the theory of derivations of operator algebras from both the physical and mathematical points of view. We then describe our recent work on derivations of Murray-von Neumann algebras. We show that the "extended derivations" of a Murray-v...
