Abelian subalgebras and the Jordan structure of a von Neumann algebra (Q2822577)

Let \(M\) be a von Neumann algebra. Denote by \(\operatorname{AbSub}M\) the partially ordered set (poset) of all abelian von Neumann subalgebras of \(M\). The main aim of the paper is to show that the order structure of the orthomodular lattice \(\operatorname{AbSub}M\) determines the Jordan structure of the von Neumann algebra \(M\). Namely, the authors prove the following result:NEWLINENEWLINEIf \(M\) and \(N\) are von Neumann algebras not isomorphic to \(\mathbb C \oplus \mathbb C\) and without type \(I_{2}\) summands, then for an order-isomorphism \(f: \operatorname{AbSub}M\rightarrow \operatorname{AbSub}N \) between the posets of abelian subalgebras of \(M\) and \(N\), there is a unique Jordan \(*\)-isomorphism \(g:M\rightarrow N\) with the image \(g[S]\) equal to \(f(S)\) for each abelian von Neumann subalgebra \(S\) of \(M\).
