Abstract: The set of normalizers between von Neumann (or, more generally, reflexive) algebras A and B, (that is, the set of all operators x such that xAx* is a subset of B and x*Bx is a subset of A) possesses `local linear structure': it is a union of reflexive linear spaces. These spaces belong to the interesting class of normalizing linear spaces, namely, those linear spaces U for which UU*U is a subset of U. Such a space is reflexive whenever it is ultraweakly closed, and then it is of the form U={x:xp=h(p)x, for all p in P}, where P is a set of projections and h a certain map defined on P. A normalizing space consists of normalizers between appropriate von Neumann algebras A and B. Necessary and sufficient conditions are found for a normalizing space to consist of normalizers between two reflexive algebras. Normalizing spaces which are bimodules over maximal abelian selfadjoint algebras consist of operators `supported' on sets of the form [f=g] where f and g are appropriate Borel functions. They also satisfy spectral synthesis in the sense of Arveson.

Review text

Let \(H_1\) and \(H_2\) be two complex Hilbert spaces and let \(B(H_1, H_2)\) be the space of bounded linear operators between them. A subspace \(U\subseteq B(H_1, H_2)\) is called normalizing if it is closed under the triple product \((A,B,C)\to AB^*C\). The authors carry out a systematic study of such subspaces and provide a number of results. It is shown, for instance, that normalizing subspaces which are bimodules over two maximal abelian self-adjoint algebras consist of operators `supported' on sets of the form \([f= g]\), where \(f\) and \(g\) are appropriate Borel functions. This includes the case when the normalizing space is generated by operators of rank 1. Much attention is paid to the relation between normalizing reflexive subspaces and normalizers of reflexive algebras of operators. Necessary and sufficient conditions are found for a normalizing subspace to consist of normalizers between two reflexive algebras.
