The Schröder–Bernstein theorem from set theory has analogs in the context operator algebras. This article discusses such operator-algebraic results. == For von Neumann algebras == Suppose M is a von Neumann algebra and ''E'', ''F'' are projections in M. Let ~ denote the Murray-von Neumann equivalence relation on M. Define a partial order « on the family of projections by ''E'' « ''F'' if ''E'' ~ ''F' '' ≤ ''F''. In other words, ''E'' « ''F'' if there exists a partial isometry ''U'' ∈ M such that ''U *U'' = ''E'' and ''UU *'' ≤ ''F''. For closed subspaces ''M'' and ''N'' where projections ''PM'' and ''PN'', onto ''M'' and ''N'' respectively, are elements of M, ''M'' « ''N'' if ''PM'' « ''PN''. The Schröder–Bernstein theorem states that if ''M'' « ''N'' and ''N'' « ''M'', then ''M'' ~ ''N''. A proof, one that is similar to a set-theoretic argument, can be sketched as follows. Colloquially, ''N'' « ''M'' means that ''N'' can be isometrically embedded in ''M''. So : where ''N''0 is an isometric copy of ''N'' in ''M''. By assumption, it is also true that, ''N'', therefore ''N''0, contains an isometric copy ''M''1 of ''M''. Therefore one can write : By induction, : It is clear that : Let : So : and : Notice : The theorem now follows from the countable additivity of ~. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Schröder–Bernstein theorems for operator algebras」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
