von Neumann Algebra 3 Note 2 Purely Infinite

 von Neumann Algebra 3

 

Note 2

Purely Infinite  

 

TANAKA Akio

 

 

[Theorem]

The necessary and sufficient condition for what von Neumann algebra N is purely infinite ( Ⅲtype) is what semi-finite normal trace that is not 0 does not exist over N.

 

[Explanation]

<1 Trace>

<1-1>

Trace over von Neumann algebra N          τ : N+ → [0, ∞]  0∞ := 0

τ is the map that has next condition.

(i) τ ( A+B ) =τA +τB,   ∀A,B∈N

(ii) τ (λA ) = λτ ( A )      ∀A∈N+,   ∀λ∈[0, ∞)

(iii) τ ( A*A ) = τ ( AA* )   ∀A∈N

<1-2>

Trace over von Neumann algebra N          τ

(1) τ is faithful.     A∈N, τ (A) = 0 → A = 0

(2) τ is normal.     Increase net {An} ⊂N+   τ (supα Aα) = supα τ (Aα)

(3) τ is definite.    τ (I ) < ∞

(4) τ is semi-definite.     When A(≠0)∈N+,    there exist B(≠0) ∈N+  while B≦A and τ (B) ≠0.
