The mathematics of classical probability theory was subsumed into classical measure theory by Kolmogorov in 1933. Quantum theory as nonclassical probability theory was incorporated into the beginnings of noncommutative measure theory by von Neumann in the early thirties, as well. To precisely this end, von Neumann initiated the study of what are now called von Neumann algebras and, with Murray,...

Die Aussagekraft betrieblicher Daten kann durch die Nutzung von Unternehmensvergleichen wesentlich erhöht werden. An einem Beispiel von Gesundheitsdaten beim Milchrind werden die informationstechnologischen Voraussetzungen zur Umsetzung eines entsprechenden Konzeptes erläutert. Schwerpunkte bilden dabei die Bereitstellung, die Vergleichbarkeit, die Übertragung und die Präsentation der Daten.

In one of his recent papers, Molnár showed that if $\mathcal{A}$ is a von Neumann algebra without $I_1, I_2$-type direct summands, then any function from the positive definite cone to real numbers preserving Kubo-Ando power mean, for some $0 \neq p \in (-1,1),$ necessarily constant. It was shown in paper $I_1$-type algebras admit nontrivial $p$-power mean functionals, and it conjectured $I_2$-t...

One of von Neumann’s motivations for developing the theory of operator algebras and his and Murray’s 1936 classification of factors was the question of possible decompositions of quantum systems into independent parts. For quantum systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom the simplest possibility, i.e., factors of type I in the terminology of Murray and von Neumann, are perfectly adequ...

The category of von Neumann correspondences from B to C (or von Neumann B–C–modules) is dual to the category of von Neumann correspondences from C to B via a functor that generalizes naturally the functor that sends a von Neumann algebra to its commutant and back. We show that under this duality, called commutant, Rieffel’s Eilenberg-Watts theorem (on functors between the categories of represen...

There is a close relation between comprehensive Gröbner bases and non-parametric Gröbner bases over commutative von Neumann regular rings. By this relation, Gröbner bases over a commutative von Neumann regular ring can be viewed as an alternative to comprehensive Gröbner bases. (Therefore, this Gröbner basis is called an “alternative comprehensive Gröbner basis (ACGB)”.) In the first part of th...

We prove that for any weakly convergent sequence of finite graphs with bounded vertex degrees there exists a limit graphing and thus an associated Type-II1 von Neumann algebra. The Kesten-von Neumann-Serre spectral measure of the Laplacian on the limit graphing is the weak limit of the spectral measures of the Laplacians of the finite graphs. Using this limit techniques we prove a Cheeger type ...
