Free Araki-woods Factors and Connes’ Bicentralizer Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that for any free Araki-Woods factor M = Γ(HR, Ut) ′′ of type III1, the bicentralizer of the free quasi-free state φU is trivial. Using Haagerup’s Theorem, it follows that there always exists a faithful normal state ψ on M such that (M) ∩M = C.

On the Classification of Full Factors of Type Iii
We introduce a new invariant S (M) for type III factors M with no almost-periodic weights. We compute this invariant for certain free Araki-Woods factors. We show that Connes’ invariant τ cannot distinguish all isomorphism classes of free Araki-Woods factors. We show that there exists a continuum of mutually non-isomorphic free Araki-Woods factors, each without almostperiodic weights.
متن کاملOn Some Free Products of Von Neumann Algebras Which Are Free Araki-woods Factors
We prove that certain free products of factors of type I and other von Neumann algebras with respect to nontracial, almost periodic states are almost periodic free Araki-Woods factors. In particular, they have the free absorption property and Connes’ Sd invariant completely classifies these free products. For example, for λ, μ ∈]0, 1[, we show that (M2(C), ωλ) ∗ (M2(C), ωμ) is isomorphic to the...
متن کاملFree Quasi-free States
To a real Hilbert space and a one-parameter group of orthogonal transformations we associate a C∗-algebra which admits a free quasi-free state. This construction is a freeprobability analog of the construction of quasi-free states on the CAR and CCR algebras. We show that under certain conditions, our C∗-algebras are simple, and the free quasi-free states are unique. The corresponding von Neuma...
متن کاملStructural Results for Free Araki-woods Factors and Their Continuous Cores
We show that for any type III1 free Araki-Woods factor M = Γ(HR, Ut) ′′ associated with an orthogonal representation (Ut) of R on a separable real Hilbert space HR, the continuous core M = M⋊σ R is a semisolid II∞ factor, i.e. for any non-zero finite projection q ∈ M , the II1 factor qMq is semisolid. If the representation (Ut) is moreover assumed to be mixing, then we prove that the core M is ...
متن کاملThermal Quantum Fields with Spatially Cut-off Interactions in 1+1 Space-time Dimensions
We construct interacting quantum fields in 1+1 space-time dimensions, representing charged or neutral scalar bosons at positive temperature and zero chemical potential. Our work is based on prior work by Klein and Landau and Høegh-Krohn. Generalized path space methods are used to add a spatially cut-off interaction to the free system, which is described in the Araki-Woods representation. It is ...
