Von Neumann Algebras
by Vaughan F. R. Jones
Publisher: UC Berkeley Mathematics 2010
Number of pages: 159
Description:
The purpose of these notes is to provide a rapid introduction to von Neumann algebras which gets to the examples and active topics with a minimum of technical baggage. The philosophy is to lavish attention on a few key results and examples, and we prefer to make simplifying assumptions rather than go for the most general case. Thus we do not hesitate to give several proofs of a single result, or repeat an argument with different hypotheses.

These are notes for a King's College course to fourth year undergraduates and MSc students. They cover the theoretical development of operators on Hilbert space up to the spectral theorem for bounded selfadjoint operators.

These notes are based on lectures given as part of a mathematics MSc program. The approach here is to discuss topological vector spaces - with normed spaces considered as special cases. Contents: Topological Spaces; Nets; Product Spaces; etc.
