The commutant of the right action of a cyclic tracial operator algebra contains the algebra, is a tracial W*-probability space for the same vector, equals the double commutant of the algebra, has commutant equal to its own conjugate, and contains an element with any prescribed right-bounded vector at the cyclic vector.

Statement

In the setting of Complex Hilbert Spaces and Bounded Linear Maps: Standing Notation, let (H,A,Ω)(H,\mathcal{A},\Omega) be a cyclic tracial operator algebra with trace τA\tau_{\mathcal{A}} and conjugation JJ, and let M=(JAJ)′M=(J\mathcal{A}J)' be the commutant of the set JAJJ\mathcal{A}J of conjugated maps. Tracial W*-probability spaces and their traces are those of Tracial W*-Probability Spaces.

1. (Containment) A⊆M\mathcal{A}\subseteq M and JAJ⊆M′J\mathcal{A}J\subseteq M'.

2. (Tracial W-probability space)** (H,M,Ω)(H,M,\Omega) is a tracial W-probability space, its trace τM\tau_{M} agrees with τA\tau_{\mathcal{A}} on A\mathcal{A}, and J(TΩ)=T∗ΩJ(T\Omega)=T^{*}\Omega for every T∈MT\in M; thus JJ is also the conjugation of (H,M,Ω)(H,M,\Omega) in the sense of The Trace, the Conjugation and the Right Action of a Cyclic Tracial Operator Algebra §conjugation.

3. (Right-bounded vectors) Let ζ∈H\zeta\in H and let C≥0C\ge0 be real with ∥JSJζ∥≤C∥SΩ∥\lVert JSJ\zeta\rVert\le C\lVert S\Omega\rVert for every S∈AS\in\mathcal{A}. Then there is exactly one T∈MT\in M with TΩ=ζT\Omega=\zeta, and ∥T∥op≤C\lVert T\rVert_{\mathrm{op}}\le C.

4. (Commutant) M′=JMJM'=JMJ.

5. (Double commutant) M=A′′M=\mathcal{A}''.
