Introduction to Von Neumann Algebras and Continuous Geometry
Introduction to Von Neumann Algebras and Continuous Geometry
What is a von Neumann algebra? What is a factor (i) of type I, (ii) of type II, (iii) of type III? What is a projection geometry? And finally, what is a continuous geometry? The questions recall some of the most brilliant mathematical work of the past 30 years, work …
