Review text

The theory of dual cones is presented in a simplified and unified way. Let \(\mathcal R\) be a von Neumann algebra acting on a Hilbert space \(\mathcal H\) and having a separating and generating vector \(u\in {\mathcal H}\). It is shown that the sets \(V_u^a\), \(a\in [0,1/2]\), defined as the norm closures of the sets \(\{\Delta_u^aAu\;|\;A\in {\mathcal R}^+\}\), where \(\Delta_u\) is the modular operator corresponding to \(u\), form cones in the Hilbert space \(\mathcal H\). Moreover, \(V_u^a\) and \(V_u^{1-a}\) are dual cones. The properties of the self-dual cones \(V_u=V_u^{1/4}\) are thoroughly studied. The exposition culminates in proving the results on representations of normal states by vectors in \(V_u\) and \(\ast\)-automorphisms of \(\mathcal R\) by unitary maps preserving \(V_u\). Principal results of the paper are well known but most of the arguments as well as results leading to major theorems are new and interesting. The paper is self-contained, in the appendix a new proof of the Friedrich's extension theorem is given. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0908.00020].
