We prove that for all 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, p 6= 2, the L spaces associated to two von Neumann algebras M, N are isometrically isomorphic if and only if M and N are Jordan *-isomorphic. This follows from a noncommutative L Banach-Stone theorem: a specific decomposition for surjective isometries of noncommutative L spaces.

We prove a weak-type (1,1) inequality for square functions of noncommutative martingales that are simultaneously bounded in L and L. More precisely, the following non-commutative analogue of a classical result of Burkholder holds: ...

Let R be an associative ring with unity. An element a in R is said to be r-clean if a = e+r, where e is an idempotent and r is a regular (von Neumann) element in R. If every element of R is r-clean, then R is called an r-clean ring. In this paper, we prove that the concepts of clean ring and r-clean ring are equivalent for abelian rings. Further we prove that if 0 and 1 are the only idempotents...

We introduce “embedding dimensions” of a family of generators of a finite von Neumann algebra when the von Neumann algebra can be faithfully embedded into the ultrapower of the hyperfinite II1 factor. These embedding dimensions are von Neumann algebra invariants, i.e., do not depend on the choices of the generators. We also find values of these invariants for some specific von Neumann algebras.

We prove that a finite von Neumann algebra A is semisimple if the algebra of affiliated operators U of A is semisimple. When A is not semisimple, we give the upper and lower bounds for the global dimensions of A and U . This last result requires the use of the Continuum Hypothesis.

Suppose F is a finite set of selfadjoint elements in a tracial von Neumann algebra M . For α > 0, F is α-bounded if Pα(F ) < ∞ where Pα is the α-packing entropy of F introduced in [7]. We say that M is strongly 1-bounded if M has a 1-bounded finite set of selfadjoint generators F such that there exists an x ∈ F with χ(x) > −∞. It is shown that if M is strongly 1-bounded, then any finite set of ...

Suppose M is a tracial von Neumann algebra embeddable into R ω (the ultraproduct of the hyperfinite II 1-factor) and X is an n-tuple of selfadjoint generators for M. Denote by Γ(X; m, k, γ) the microstate space of X of order (m, k, γ). We say that X is tubular if for any ǫ > 0 there exist m ∈ N

The paper presents a fresh new comprehensive ideology on Neutrosophic Logic based on contradiction study in a broad sense: general critics on conventional logic by examining the essence of logic, fresh insights on logic definition based on Chinese philosophical survey, and a novel and genetic logic model as the elementary cell against Von Neumann oriented ones based on this novel definition. As...

We present a to following results in the constructive theory of operator algebras. A representation theorem for finite dimensional von Neumann-algebras. A representation theorem for normal functionals. The spectral measure is independent of the choice of the basis of the underlying Hilbert space. Finally, the double commutant theorem for finite von Neumann algebras and for Abelian von Neumann a...

Coset enumeration, based on the methods described by Todd and Coxeter, is one of the basic tools for investigating nitely presented groups. The process is not well understood, and various pathological presentations of, for example, the trivial group have been suggested as challenge problems. Here we consider one such family of presentations proposed by B.H. Neumann. We show that the problems ar...
