Order Homomorphisms

Let be a nest algebra of operators on some Hilbert space H. Weakly closed -modules were first studied by J. Erdos and S. Power in [4]. It became apparent that many interesting classes of non self-adjoint operator algebras arise as just such a module. This paper undertakes a systematic investigation of the correspondence which arises between such modules and order homomorphisms from Lat into itself. This perspective provides a basis to answer some open questions arising from [4]. In particular, the questions concerning unique “determination” and characterization of maximal and minimal elements under this correspondence, are resolved. This is then used to establish when the determining homomorphism is unique.

Special Case

If is a collection of operators on the complex Hilbert space , then the lattice of all subspaces of which are invariant under every operator in is denoted by Lat . An algebra of operators on is defined (3; 4) to be reflexive if for every operator B on the inclusion Lat ⊆ Lat B implies .Arveson (1) has proved the following theorem. (The abbreviation “m.a.s.a.” stands for “maximal abelian self-adjoint algebra”.)ARVESON's THEOREM. Ifis a weakly closed algebra which contains an m.a.s.a.y and if Lat, then is the algebra of all operators on .A generalization of Arveson's Theorem was given in (3). Another generalization is Theorem 2 below, an equivalent form of which is Corollary 3. This theorem was motivated by the following very elementary proof of a special case of Arveson's Theorem.

Full Proof

We consider operator algebras, which are symmetric with respect to an indefinite scalar product. It is shown, that in the case when the rank of indefiniteness is equal to 1 there exists a working modular theory, and in particular a precise analogue of the Fundamental Tomita's Theorem holds: For any weakly closed J-symmetric operator algebra [Formula: see text] with identity on a Π1-space H which has a cyclic and separating vector, there is an antilinear J-involution j : H→H such that [Formula: see text]. The paper also contains a full proof of the Double Commutant Theorem for J-symmetric operator algebras on Π1-spaces.

Reductive Algebra

An algebra of bounded operators on a Hilbert space H is said to be reductive if it is unital, weakly closed and has the property that if M ⊂ H is a (closed) subspace invariant for every operator in , then so is M⊥. Loginov and Šul'man [6] and Rosenthal [9] proved that if is an abelian reductive algebra which commutes with a compact operator K having a dense range, then is a von Neumann algebra. Note that in this case every invariant subspace of is spanned by one-dimensional invariant subspaces. Indeed, the operator KK* commutes with . Hence its eigenspaces are invariant for , so that H is an orthogonal sum of the finite-dimensional invariant subspaces of From this our claim easily follows.

Abstract We identify vertex operator algebras (VOAs) of a class of Argyres-Douglas (AD) matters with two types of non-abelian flavor symmetries. They are the W algebras defined using nilpotent orbit with partition [qm, 1s]. Gauging above AD matters, we can find VOAs for more general $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 SCFTs engineered from 6d (2, 0) theories. For example, the VOA for general (AN − 1, Ak − 1) theory is found as the coset of a collection of above W algebras. Various new interesting properties of 2d VOAs such as level-rank duality, conformal embedding, collapsing levels, coset constructions for known VOAs can be derived from 4d theory.
