Commutation theorem for traces

In mathematics, a commutation theorem for traces explicitly identifies the commutant of a specific von Neumann algebra acting on a Hilbert space in the presence of a trace. The first such result was proved by Francis Joseph Murray and John von Neumann in the 1930s and applies to the von Neumann algebra generated by a discrete group or by the dynamical system associated with a measurable transformation preserving a probability measure. Another important application is in the theory of unitary representations of unimodular locally compact groups, where the theory has been applied to the regular representation and other closely related representations. In particular this framework led to an abstract version of the Plancherel theorem for unimodular locally compact groups due to Irving Segal and Forrest Stinespring and an abstract Plancherel theorem for spherical functions associated with a Gelfand pair due to Roger Godement. Their work was put in final form in the 1950s by Jacques Dixmier as part of the theory of Hilbert algebras. It was not until the late 1960s, prompted partly by results in algebraic quantum field theory and quantum statistical mechanics due to the school of Rudolf Haag, that the more general non-tracial Tomita–Takesaki theory was developed, heralding a new era in the theory of von Neumann algebras.

Trace of an Operator and of a Matrix

Trace of an operator defined to be the sum of the eigenvalues (or of the eigenvalues of the complexification), repeated according to multiplicity. Trace of a matrix defined to be the sum of the squares of the diagonal enties. The connection between these two notions of trace.

Commutant of Complex Matrix

Matrix Theory: Let A be an nxn matrix with complex entries. We show that the commutant of A has dimension greater than or equal to n. The key step is to show the result for the Jordan canonical form of A.
