arbitrary $n$-dimensional matrix algebras in II$_1$ factor

$begingroup$


I'm struggling to show that in a type II$_1$ and any $n$ $exists$ a subfactor $M$ such that $M cong M_n$ .



I suppose it should follow from the isomorphism between the equivalence classes of projections and the interval $[0,operatorname{tr}(1)]$ but i can not figure out the details

          Say your II$_1$-factor is $N$. You can always find projections $p_1,ldots,p_n$ with $sum_jp_j=I $ and $tau(p_j)=1/n$. Because you are in a factor and they have equal trace, these projections are pairwise equivalent. In particular there exist partial isometries $v_1,ldots,v_n$ such that $v_j^*v_j=p_j$, $v_jv_j^*=p_1$.



          Next you define
          $$
          e_{kj}=v_k^*v_j, k,j=1,ldots,n.
          $$
          You have
          $$tag1
          e_{kj}e_{st}=v_k^*v_jv_s^*v_t=v_k^*v_jp_jp_sv_s^*v_t=delta_{j,s},v_k^*v_jv_j^*v_t^*
          =delta_{j,s},v_k^*p_1v_t=delta_{j,s},v_k^*v_t=delta_{j,s},e_{kt}.
          $$
          Now let $M=operatorname{span}{e_{kj}, k,j=1,ldots,n}subset N$. Then the map $pi:Mto M_n(mathbb C)$ given by $pi(e_{kj})=E_{kj}$ is a $*$-isomorphism. This is easily checked using $(1)$.

            Yes, they have to add to the identity if we want the subfactor to have the same identity (and this guarantees pairwise orthogonal). If we don't mind the identity, they just need to be pairwise orthogonal with equal trace.

            Because if $tau(p_1)=1/n$, then $tau(1-p)=1-1/n$ and you can find a $p_2leq 1-p_1$ with $tau(p_2)=1/n$. After $n$ steps you have $p_1,ldots,p_n$, pairwise orthogonal, and the sum has trace 1.

            Oh okay! I was struggling to see why under any projection you can choose a projection of any given trace and i suppose this is because in your proof above $(1-p_1)N(1-p_1)$ is a $Pi_1$ factor itself so there exists $p_2$ inside it of trace $1/n$. Thank you!!

            Oh okay! I was struggling to see why under any projection you can choose a projection of any given trace and i suppose this is because in your proof above $(1-p_1)N(1-p_1)$ is a $Pi_1$ factor itself so there exists $p_2$ inside it of trace $1/n$. Thank you!!

          The $p_i$ must be pairwise orthogonal, right ?

          Yes, they have to add to the identity if we want the subfactor to have the same identity (and this guarantees pairwise orthogonal). If we don't mind the identity, they just need to be pairwise orthogonal with equal trace.

          How can you always find such a sum of projections? It is obvious you can find any projection of size 1/n but im not sure how you could find a sum of such projections equal to the identity

          $begingroup$
          Because if $tau(p_1)=1/n$, then $tau(1-p)=1-1/n$ and you can find a $p_2leq 1-p_1$ with $tau(p_2)=1/n$. After $n$ steps you have $p_1,ldots,p_n$, pairwise orthogonal, and the sum has trace 1.

          To store a contact into the json file from server.js file using a class in NodeJS

          Image
          0 I have created three files -contactPresentation.js, contactService.js, contacts.json. I will run the contactService.js file. And it will navigate to contactPresentation.js file that will only choose an option to either add or display a file. If add(), then add the data into add of service file.And the data will be added to the contacts.json file . And if display(), then display the display() of service file. And the display will take the data from contacts.json file. However, i know my code is flawed. Please correct it . I am also getting an error - this.contacts.push(new ContactService(userName, contactNumber, emailId)); ^ TypeError: Cannot read property 'push' of undefined at ContactService.add (e:NodeJSProjectcontactManager2contactService.js:57:23) at new C
