چکیده

The cohomology of operator algebras introduced by B. E. Johnson, R. V. Kadison, and J. R. Ringrose in a series of three papers is a useful tool for obtaining new invariants for operator algebras or to prove stability results by the vanishing of their cohomology groups (see [14]). If X is a von Neumann algebra and a Banach bimodule over M, and if « is a positive integer, then the nth cohomology group of M is denoted by H"(M, X). If X is also a normal dual bimodule, then H"W(M, X) is the «th weakly continuous cohomology group and it is proved in [14] that H"(M, X) is isomorphic to H^(M, X) and vanishes whenever M is approximately finite dimensional. Actually, the results of Alain Connes show that the vanishing of Hx (M, X) for every normal dual Banach bimodule over M is equivalent to the injectivity of M (see [2]). If M c B(H) (the space of all linear bounded operators on a Hubert space H ), then B(H) itself is a normal dual Banach bimodule over M ; the most interesting examples of dual normal bimodules are B(H) and M. By the work of E. Christensen (see [3]) it is known that Hx (M, B(H)) = 0 in most cases (see also [5] for results concerning the higher cohomology groups). It was very well known that Hc (M, M) for nonnegative M vanishes foxk=\, but for k = 2 nothing was known (excepting an example of B. E. Johnson [9]) until recently. It was proved by E. Christensen and A. Sinclair [6] that it vanishes if M has property Y. When X is no longer a normal dual bimodule, the proof of vanishing of H"(M, X) can be difficult even for injective M (see [9]).

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 ...

Variants of a-T-menability for actions on non-commutative Lp-spaces

We investigate various characterizations of the Haagerup property (H) for a second countable locally compact group G, in terms of orthogonal representations of G on Lp(M), the non-commutative Lp-space associated with the von Neumann algebra M. For a semi-finite von Neumann algebra M, we introduce a variant of property (H), namely property HLp(M), defined in terms of orthogonal representations o...

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.

Normal conditional expectations of finite index and sets of module generators

Normal conditional expectations E : M → N ⊆ M of finite index on von Neumann algebras M with discrete center are investigated to find an estimate for the minimal number of generators of M as a Hilbert N -module. Analyzing the case of M being finite type I with discrete center we obtain that these von Neumann algebras M are always finitely generated projective N -modules with a minimal generator...
