I - 9 Classification of Injective Factors : the Work of Alain Connes Steve Wright

چکیده
The fundamental results of A. Connes which determine a complete set of isomorphism classes for most injectlve factors are discussed in detail. After some introductory remarks which lay the foundation for the subsequent discussion, an historical survey of some of the principal lines of the investigation in the classification of factors is presented, culminating in the Connes-Takesakl structure theory of type III factors. After a discussion of inJectlvity for finite factors, the main result of the paper, the uniqueness of the injectlve II1 factor, is deduced, and the structure of II. and type III injectlve factors is then obtained as corollaries of the main result. 1980 AMS (MOS) SUBJECT CLASSIFICATION: PRIMARY 46L35, 46LI0; SECONDARY46L50, 46L05 KEY WORI]S AND PHRASES: jiVe yon Nann o.%gebra, fi facr, dcre ando p,ftor pro, yonN gebra.

Classification of Strongly Free Actions of Discrete Amenable Groups on Strongly Amenable Subfactors of Type Iii0
In the theory of operator algebras, classification of group actions on approximately finite dimensional (AFD) factors has been done since Connes’s work [2]. In subfactor theory, various results on classification of group actions have been obtained. The most powerful results have been obtained by Popa in [16], who classified the strongly outer actions of discrete amenable groups on strongly amen...
متن کامل$varphi$-Connes amenability of dual Banach algebras
Generalizing the notion of character amenability for Banach algebras, we study the concept of $varphi$-Connes amenability of a dual Banach algebra $mathcal{A}$ with predual $mathcal{A}_*$, where $varphi$ is a homomorphism from $mathcal{A}$ onto $Bbb C$ that lies in $mathcal{A}_*$. Several characterizations of $varphi$-Connes amenability are given. We also prove that the follo...
متن کاملGorenstein flat and Gorenstein injective dimensions of simple modules
Let R be a right GF-closed ring with finite left and right Gorenstein global dimension. We prove that if I is an ideal of R such that R/I is a semi-simple ring, then the Gorensntein flat dimensnion of R/I as a right R-module and the Gorensntein injective dimensnnion of R/I as a left R-module are identical. In particular, we show that for a simple module S over a commutative Gorensntein ring R, ...
متن کاملCrossed Product Decompositions of a Purely Infinite Von Neumann Algebra with Faithful, Almost Periodic Weight
For M a separable, purely infinite von Neumann algebra with almost periodic weight φ, a decomposition of M as a crossed product of a semifinite von Neumann algebra by a trace–scaling action of a countable abelian group is given. Then Takasaki’s continuous decomposition of the same algebra is related to the above discrete decomposition via Takesaki’s notion of induced action, but here one induce...
متن کاملFactoriality and the Connes Invariant T (m) for Free Products of Von Neumann Algebras
Sufficient conditions for factoriality are given for free products of von Neumann algebras with respect to states that are not necessarily traces. The Connes T–invariant of the free product algebra is found, which has implications for the type of the algebra. Roughly speaking, the free product of von Neumann algebras with respect to states, one of which is not a trace, is a type III factor. Int...
