Generalisations of the Haagerup approximation property to arbitrary von Neumann algebras (1404.2716v1)
Published 10 Apr 2014 in math.OA and math.FA
Abstract: The notion of the Haagerup approximation property, originally introduced for von Neumann algebras equipped with a faithful normal tracial state, is generalized to arbitrary von Neumann algebras. We discuss two equivalent characterisations, one in terms of the standard form and the other in terms of the approximating maps with respect to a fixed faithful normal semifinite weight. Several stability properties, in particular regarding the crossed product construction are established and certain examples are introduced.
