Abstract: The energy levels, generally known as the Landau levels, which characterize the motion of an electron in a constant magnetic field, are those of the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator, with each level being infinitely degenerate. We show in this paper how the associated von Neumann algebra of observables display a modular structure in the sense of the Tomita-Takesaki theory, with the algebra and its commutant referring to the two orientations of the magnetic field. A KMS state can be built which in fact is the Gibbs state for an ensemble of harmonic oscillators. Mathematically, the modular structure is shown to arise as the natural modular structure associated to the Hilbert space of all Hilbert-Schmidt operators.
