On stability properties of positive contractions of L-spaces accosiated with finite von Neumann algebras

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

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 ...

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.

Quasi *-algebras of Measurable Operators

Non-commutative L-spaces are shown to constitute examples of a class of Banach quasi *-algebras called CQ*-algebras. For p ≥ 2 they are also proved to possess a sufficient family of bounded positive sesquilinear forms satisfying certain invariance properties. CQ *-algebras of measurable operators over a finite von Neumann algebra are also constructed and it is proven that any abstract CQ*-algeb...

L 2 -invariants and Rank Metric

We introduce a notion of rank completion for bi-modules over a finite tracial von Neumann algebra. We show that the functor of rank completion is exact and that the category of complete modules is abelian with enough projective objects. This leads to interesting computations in the L 2-homology for tracial algebras. As an application, we also give a new proof of a Theorem of Gaboriau on invaria...
