Characterization of the set of right-bracket regular functions

Determine whether, in the general setting of commuting, trace-preserving actions of unimodular groups on a common semifinite von Neumann algebra, the set of functions $Hbracket{W}{W}$ can be a proper subset of the set of all $rho$-regular functions.

Background

The paper defines WW as the set of elements of $L^1(\M)$ that are simultaneously α\alpha-regular and β\beta-regular, where α\alpha and β\beta are commuting, trace-preserving actions of unimodular groups GG and HH. The notation $\Hbracket{W}{W}$ denotes the collection of right-bracket functions formed from pairs of elements of WW, while ρ\rho-regular functions are those in L1(H)L^1(H) whose right translates span a dense subspace of L1(H)L^1(H).

The question arises in the context of a Tauberian theorem characterizing when a bounded operator has vanishing-at-infinity bracket functions and belongs to the associated subspace KK. The theorem uses functions from $\Hbracket{W}{W}$, but the paper does not establish whether every ρ\rho-regular function is obtained this way or whether $\Hbracket{W}{W}$ may be strictly smaller.

References

In the general case it is however unclear to the author whether $\Hbracket{W}{W}$ can be a proper subset of all $\rho$-regular functions.
