Isomorphism between von Neumann algebras












1












$begingroup$


Let $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ be two von Neumann a algebras with wot dense sub algebras $U_{1}$ and $U_{2}$. Suppose $varphi$ is a * isomorphism from $U_{1}$ onto $U_{2}$. Is there always an isomorphism $phi$ between $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ which is an extension of $varphi$?

  • $begingroup$
    What if $U_2=R_2$ but $U_1$ is a proper subalgebra of $R_1$? Then you obviously cannot extend $varphi$ to an injective function. Or am I missing something?

The answer is no.



Let $F_2$ be the free group on two generators, then the reduced group $C^ast$-algebra $C^ast_r(F_2)$ is wot dense in the group von Neumann algebra $L(F_2) subseteq mathbb B(L^2(F_2))$. As $C^ast_r(F_2)$ is separable, simple, and not type I, there is a faithful irreducible representation $pi colon C^ast_r(F_2) to mathbb B(L^2(F_2))$, so the image $A:=pi(C^ast_r(F_2))$ is $ast$-isomorphic to $C^ast_r(F_2)$, and $A'' = mathbb B(L^2(F_2)) not cong L(F_2)$.

    This is not even true when $U_1=U_2$. For instance if you take $U_1=U_2=UHF(2^infty)$, then by taking the von Neumann algebra obtained via GNS with the trace, you get $mathcal R_1$ the hyperfinite II$_1$-factor. While by using an appropriate state $psi_lambda$, you can get $mathcal R_2$ to be one Power's III$_lambda$ factors.

While by using an appropriate state $psi_lambda$, you can get $mathcal R_2$ to be one Power's III$_lambda$ factors.
