On individual subsequential ergodic theorem in von Neumann algebras

Kochen-Specker theorem for von Neumann algebras

The Kochen-Specker theorem has been discussed intensely ever since its original proof in 1967. It is one of the central no-go theorems of quantum theory, showing the non-existence of a certain kind of hidden states models. In this paper, we first offer a new, non-combinatorial proof for quantum systems with a type In factor as algebra of observables, including I∞. Afterwards, we give a proof of...

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.

Von Neumann on Measure and Ergodic Theory

According to a currently popular principle of classification, mathematics is the study of various "categories. " A category consists of certain "objects" (e.g., groups, topological spaces) and certain "mappings" (e.g., homomorphisms, continuous functions). One possible category has measure spaces for its objects and, correspondingly, measure-preserving transformations for its mappings. The usua...

Notes 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 ...
