Property \(\Pi_{\sigma}\) and tensor products of operator algebras (Q2475322)

In this paper, property \(\Pi_{\sigma}\) for operator algebras as well as operator spaces is introduced, and it is shown that nest subalgebras and finite-width CSL subalgebras in a von~Neumann algebra have this property. Furthermore, the authors obtain the tensor product formula for finite-width CSLs in von~Neumann algebras. A \(\sigma\)-weakly closed subspace \(V\) of bounded operators on a Hilbert space has property \(\Pi_{\sigma}\) if its Fubini product with any von~Neumann algebra \(M\) is equal to their tensor product. Such a \(V\) has property \(S_{\sigma}\) if the equality holds by replacing \(M\) with a \(\sigma\)-weakly closed subspace (for details and further references, see \textit{J. Kraus} [J.~Funct.\ Anal.\ 102, 116--155 (1991; Zbl 0747.46046)]).
