Isomorphisms of noncommutative \(\log\)-algebras (Q6624929)

Let \((\mathcal M,\tau)\) be a semi-finite von Neumann algebra with a faithful normal semi-finite trace \(\tau\). By \(L_0(\mathcal M,\tau)\) we denote the measurable operators associated with \(\mathcal M\). Put \N\[\NL_{\log}(\mathcal M,\tau)=\{T\in L_0(\mathcal M,\tau): \tau(\log(1+|T|))<+\infty\}.\N\]\NThen it is an F-space with respect to the F-norm: \[\|T\|_{\log}=\int_0^1\log(1+\mu_x(T))dx\] in the case of a tracial state \(\tau\), and \N\[\N\|T\|_{\log}=\int_0^{\infty}\log(1+\mu_x(T))dx\N\]\Nin the semi-finite \(\tau\), where \(\mu_x(T)\) is a rearrangement of the operator \(T\). Let \(\mu\) and \(\nu\) be faithful normal semi-finite traces on \(\mathcal M\) and let \(h=\frac{d\nu}{d\mu}\) denote the Radon-Nikodym derivative of \(\nu\) with respect to \(\mu\). The authors consider the isomorphism of log-algebras built on non-commutative von Neumann algebras with different faithful normal semi-finite traces. It is shown that if \(\mathcal M\) is diffuse, then \(L_{\log}(\mathcal M,\mu)=L_{\log}(\mathcal M,\nu)\) if and only if \(h,h^{-1}\in\mathcal M\). Moreover, if \((\mathcal M,\mu)\) and \((\mathcal N,\nu)\) are two semi-finite diffuse von Neumann algebras, then \(L_{\log}(\mathcal M,\mu)\) and \(L_{\log}(\mathcal N,\nu)\) are \(*\)-isomorphic if and only if \(\mu\) and \(\nu\) are \(\alpha\)-equivalent in the sense that there exists a \(*\)-isomorphism \(\alpha:\mathcal M\to \mathcal N\) such that \(L_{\log}(\mathcal N,\nu)=L_{\log}(\mathcal N,\mu\circ\alpha^{-1})\), or equivalently, \(\frac{d\nu}{d\mu\circ\alpha^{-1}}, \frac{d\mu\circ\alpha^{-1}}{d\nu}\in\mathcal N\). Additionally, a connection between the isomorphism of noncommutative log-algebras and the isomorphism of the corresponding log-algebras constructed on the center of these von Neumann algebras is given.
