Tomita–Takesaki Theory
In the theory of von Neumann algebras, a part of the mathematical field of functional analysis, Tomita–Takesaki theory is a method for constructing modular automorphisms of von Neumann algebras from the polar decomposition of a certain involution. It is essential for the theory of type III factors, and has led to a good structure theory for these previously intractable objects. The theory was introduced by , but his work was hard to follow and mostly unpublished, and little notice was taken of it until wrote an account of Tomita's theory. Modular automorphisms of a state Suppose that ''M'' is a von Neumann algebra acting on a Hilbert space ''H'', and Ω is a cyclic and separating vector of ''H'' of norm 1. (Cyclic means that ''MΩ'' is dense in ''H'', and separating means that the map from ''M'' to ''MΩ'' is injective.) We write \phi for the vector state \phi(x) = (x\Omega, \Omega) of ''M'', so that ''H'' is constructed from \phi using the Gelfand–Naimark–Segal construct ...
