Dmitri Pavlov (University of California, Berkeley): Tensor products of noncommutative Lp-spaces and equivalences of categories of Lp-modules. Oberseminar C*-Algebren.
Tuesday, 20.10.2009 15:15 im Raum N3 (Neubau)
In the first part of this talk I will introduce Haagerup's
theory of noncommutative Lp-spaces using the nice algebraic formalism
of modular algebras by Yamagami.
(Here Lp=L^{1/p}, in particular, L_0=L^\infty and L1/2=L2.)
Then I will discuss some interesting properties of the resulting Lp-spaces,
in particular I will prove the following theorem:
Lp(M)\otimes_M Lq(M)=Lp+q(M) for an arbitrary von Neumann algebra~M
and arbitrary complex p and q with nonnegative real parts.
Equality here means isometric isomorphism of M-M-bimodules.
In the second part of the talk I will describe Lp-modules by Junge
and Sherman,
which are the noncommutative analogs of modules of p-sections of bundles
of Hilbert spaces over a measurable space.
The special cases p=0 and p=1/2 correspond to the well-known cases
of Hilbert W*-modules and Connes' correspondences.
I will prove that W*-categories of Lp-modules for all values
of~p are equivalent to each other.
After that I will explain how Connes' fusion (and its generalized
version), which originally had
very technical definition, can be described easily in this algebraic formalism.
