Recent work [2, 6] on subalgebras of matrix algebras leads naturally to the following situation. Let A be a C*-subalgebra of the C*-algebra B andM be a weakly closed *-subalgebra of the von Neumann algebra N. Consider the following Conditions.Condition 1. For every b≠ 0 in B there exists a ∈ A such that O≠ab ∈ A.Condition 2. For every b∈B there exists a ≠ 0 in A such that ab ∈ A.If we replace A by M and B by N in Conditions 1 and 2 we get von Neumann algebra versions which we shall call Condition 1'and Condition 2'. Clearly Condition 1 implies Condition 2, and both conditions suggest that A is some kind of weak ideal of B. This paper explores the extent to which this is true. The paper grew out of the author's attempts [1, 3] to generalize the Stone-Weierstrass theorem to C*-algebras.

Let M be a von Neumann algebra and let {αt}t∊R be a σ-weakly continuous flow on M; i.e., suppose that {αt}t∊R is a one-parameter group of *-automorphisms of M such that for each ρ in the predual, M∗, of M and for each x ∊ M, the function of t, ρ(αt(x)), is continuous on R. In recent years, considerable attention has been focused on the subspace of M, H∞(α), which is defined to bewhere H∞(R) is the classical Hardy space consisting of the boundary values of functions bounded analytic in the upper half-plane. In Theorem 3.15 of [8] it is proved that in fact H∞(α) is a σ-weakly closed subalgebra of M containing the identity operator such thatis σ-weakly dense in M, and such that

Conditional Expectations

AbstractIn this paper, we derive a new generalisation of the strong subadditivity of the entropy to the setting of general conditional expectations onto arbitrary finite-dimensional von Neumann algebras. This generalisation, referred to as approximate tensorization of the relative entropy, consists in a lower bound for the sum of relative entropies between a given density and its respective projections onto two intersecting von Neumann algebras in terms of the relative entropy between the same density and its projection onto an algebra in the intersection, up to multiplicative and additive constants. In particular, our inequality reduces to the so-called quasi-factorization of the entropy for commuting algebras, which is a key step in modern proofs of the logarithmic Sobolev inequality for classical lattice spin systems. We also provide estimates on the constants in terms of conditions of clustering of correlations in the setting of quantum lattice spin systems. Along the way, we show the equivalence between conditional expectations arising from Petz recovery maps and those of general Davies semigroups.
