Finite von Neumann algebra

In mathematics, a finite von Neumann algebra is a von Neumann algebra in which every isometry is a unitary. In other words, for an operator V in a finite von Neumann algebra if , then . In terms of the comparison theory of projections, the identity operator is not (Murray-von Neumann) equivalent to any proper subprojection in the von Neumann algebra. (Wikipedia).

Rings 18 Hilbert's theorems

This lecture is part of an online course on rings and modules. We prove Hilbert's theorem that poynomial rings over fields are Noetherian, and use this to prove Hilbert's theorem about finite generation of algebras of invariants, at least for finite groups over the complex numbers. For

Rigidity for von Neumann algebras – Adrian Ioana – ICM2018

Analysis and Operator Algebras Invited Lecture 8.5 Rigidity for von Neumann algebras Adrian Ioana Abstract: We survey some of the progress made recently in the classification of von Neumann algebras arising from countable groups and their measure preserving actions on probability spaces.

algebraic geometry 12 Hilbert's finiteness theorem

This lecture is part of an online algebraic geometry course, based on chapter I of "Algebraic geometry" by Hartshorne. It covers the proof of Hilbert's finiteness theorem for rings of invariants. (This is not the same as Hilbert's finiteness theorem for ideals, though the two theorems are

Units in a Ring (Abstract Algebra)

The units in a ring are those elements which have an inverse under multiplication. They form a group, and this “group of units” is very important in algebraic number theory. Using units you can also define the idea of an “associate” which lets you generalize the fundamental theorem of ar

RNT1.4. Ideals and Quotient Rings

Ring Theory: We define ideals in rings as an analogue of normal subgroups in group theory. We give a correspondence between (two-sided) ideals and kernels of homomorphisms using quotient rings. We also state the First Isomorphism Theorem for Rings and give examples.

Logical challenges with abstract algebra II | Abstract Algebra Math Foundations 215 | NJ Wildberger

There is a very big jump in going from finite algebraic objects to "infinite algebraic objects". For example, there is a huge difference, if one is interested in very precise definitions, between the concept of a finite group and the concept of an "infinite group". We illustrate this imp

Proof: Ideal of a Ring is Proper iff it has no Units | Abstract Algebra

An ideal of a ring with identity is proper if and only if the ideal contains no units of the ring. We prove this result in today's abstract algebra video lesson! Remember that an ideal, I, of a ring, R, is an additive subgroup of I such that for all r in R and x in I, r*x and x*r are also

Ring Theory: We consider integral domains, which are commutative rings that contain no zero divisors. We show that this property is equivalent to a cancellation law for the ring. Finally we note some basic connections between integral domains and fields.
