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.

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 ...

Reiter’s Properties for the Actions of Locally Compact Quantum Goups on von Neumann Algebras

John von Neumann and the Theory of Operator Algebras *

After some earlier work on single operators, von Neumann turned to families of operators in [1]. He initiated the study of rings of operators which are commonly called von Neumann algebras today. The papers which constitute the series “Rings of operators” opened a new field in mathematics and influenced research for half a century (or even longer). In the standard theory of modern operator alge...

The James and von Neumann-Jordan type constants and uniform normal structure in Banach spaces

Recently, Takahashi has introduced the James and von Neumann-Jordan type constants. In this paper, we present some sufficient conditions for uniform normal structure and therefore the fixed point property of a Banach space in terms of the James and von Neumann-Jordan type constants and the Ptolemy constant. Our main results of the paper significantly generalize and improve many known results in...
