The algebra of thin measurable operators is directly finite

Abstract: Let

m a t h c a l M

be a semifinite von Neumann algebra on a Hilbert space

m a t h c a l H

equipped with a faithful normal semifinite trace

a u

,

S (m a t h c a l M, a u)

be the

^{*}

-algebra of all

a u

-measurable operators. Let

S_{0} (m a t h c a l M, a u)

be the

^{*}

-algebra of all

a u

-compact operators and

T (m a t h c a l M, a u) = S_{0} (m a t h c a l M, a u) + m a t h b b C I

be the

^{*}

-algebra of all operators

X = A + l a m b d a I

with

A i n S_{0} (m a t h c a l M, a u)

and

l a m b d a i n m a t h b b C

. We prove that every operator of

T (m a t h c a l M, a u)

that is left-invertible in

T (m a t h c a l M, a u)

is in fact invertible in

T (m a t h c a l M, a u)

. It is a generalization of Sterling Berberian theorem (1982) on the subalgebra of thin operators in

m a t h c a l B (m a t h c a l H)

. For the singular value function

m u (t; Q)

of

Q = Q^{2} i n S (m a t h c a l M, a u)

we have

for all

t > 0

. It gives the positive answer to the question posed by Daniyar Mushtari in 2010.
