(o)-Topology in *-algebras of locally measurable operators

  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

We consider the topology \( t\left( \mathcal{M} \right) \) of convergence locally in measure in the *-algebra \( LS\left( \mathcal{M} \right) \) of all locally measurable operators affiliated to the von Neumann algebra \( \mathcal{M} \). We prove that \( t\left( \mathcal{M} \right) \) coincides with the (o)-topology in \( L{S_h}\left( \mathcal{M} \right) = \left\{ {T \in LS\left( \mathcal{M} \right):T* = T} \right\} \) if and only if the algebra \( \mathcal{M} \) is σ-finite and is of finite type. We also establish relations between \( t\left( \mathcal{M} \right) \) and various topologies generated by a faithful normal semifinite trace on \( \mathcal{M} \).
