Classification of a family of non-almost-periodic free Araki-Woods factors

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2327709



Abstract: We obtain a complete classification of a large class of non almost periodic free Araki-Woods factors up to isomorphism. We do this by showing that free Araki-Woods factors arising from finite symmetric Borel measures mu on mathbfR whose atomic part mua is nonzero and not concentrated on 0 have the joint measure class as an invariant. Our key technical result is a deformation/rigidity criterion for the unitary conjugacy of two faithful normal states. We use this to also deduce rigidity and classification theorems for free product von Neumann algebras.


Summary: We obtain a complete classification of a large class of non-almost-periodic free Araki-Woods factors \(\Gamma(\mu, m)^{\prime\prime}\) up to isomorphism. We do this by showing that free Araki-Woods factors \(\Gamma(\mu, m)^{\prime\prime}\) arising from finite symmetric Borel measures \(\mu\) on \(\mathbb{R}\) whose atomic part \(\mu_a\) is nonzero and not concentrated on \(\{0\}\) have the joint measure class \(\mathcal C(\bigvee_{k \geq 1} \mu^{\ast k})\) as an invariant. Our key technical result is a deformation/rigidity criterion for the unitary conjugacy of two faithful normal states. We use this to also deduce rigidity and classification theorems for free product von Neumann algebras.
