What we will be concerned with is, first, the question of the condition about $\mathcal{L}$ that gives Alg$\mathcal{L}$ a von Neumann algebra, that is, the question of the condition about $\mathcal{L}$ that will give Alg$\mathcal{L}$ a self-adjoint algebra. Secondly, if Alg$\mathcal{L}$ is a von Neumann algebra, we want to find out what type it is.

We prove that two essentially normal elements of a type $II_{\infty}$ factor von Neumann algebra are unitarily equivalent up to the compact ideal if and only if they have the identical essential spectrum and the same index data. Also we calculate the spectrum and essential spectrum of a non-unitary isometry of von Neumann algebra.

Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a von Neumann algebraic locally compact quantum group, in the sense of Kustermans and Vaes. In this paper, as a consequence of a notion of amenability for actions of Lau algebras, we show that $\hat{\mathbb{G}}$, the dual of $\mathbb{G}$, is co-amenable if and only if there is a state $m{\in}L^{\infty}(\hat{\mathbb{G}})^*$ which is invariant under a left module action of $L^1(\mathbb{G})$ on $L^{\infty}(\hat{\mathbb{G}})^*$. This is the quantum group version of a result by Stokke [17]. We also characterize amenable action of Lau algebras by several properties such as fixed point property. This yields in particular, a fixed point characterization of amenable groups and H-amenable representation of groups.

In this paper, we will consider certain amalgamated free product structure in crossed product algebras. Let M be a von Neumann algebra acting on a Hilbert space Hand G, a group and let ${\alpha}$ : G${\rightarrow}$ AutM be an action of G on M, where AutM is the group of all automorphisms on M. Then the crossed product $\mathbb{M}=M{\times}{\alpha}$ G of M and G with respect to ${\alpha}$ is a von Neumann algebra acting on $H{\bigotimes}{\iota}^2(G)$, generated by M and $(u_g)_g{\in}G$, where $u_g$ is the unitary representation of g on ${\iota}^2(G)$. We show that $M{\times}{\alpha}(G_1\;*\;G_2)=(M\;{\times}{\alpha}\;G_1)\;*_M\;(M\;{\times}{\alpha}\;G_2)$. We compute moments and cumulants of operators in $\mathbb{M}$. By doing that, we can verify that there is a close relation between Group Freeness and Amalgamated Freeness under the crossed product. As an application, we can show that if $F_N$ is the free group with N-generators, then the crossed product algebra $L_M(F_n){\equiv}M\;{\times}{\alpha}\;F_n$ satisfies that $$L_M(F_n)=L_M(F_{{\kappa}1})\;*_M\;L_M(F_{{\kappa}2})$$, whenerver $n={\kappa}_1+{\kappa}_2\;for\;n,\;{\kappa}_1,\;{\kappa}_2{\in}\mathbb{N}$.

For a norm 1 function ${\sigma}$ in the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra of a locally compact group we define the space of ${\sigma}$-harmonic operators in the non-commutative $L^p$-space associated to the group von Neumann algebra of G. We will investigate some properties of the space and will obtain a precise description of it.

We show that if M is a $II_1$-factor and a countable discrete group G acts outerly on M then Jones' index $[M:M^G]$ of a pair of $II_1^-factors is equal to the order $\mid$G$\mid$ of G. It is also shown that for a subgroup H of G Jones' index $[M^H:M^G]$ is equal to the group index [G:H] under certain conditions.

We provide another unified proof that $A_{\gamma}(G)$ and $A_{\Delta}(G)$ are Banach algebras for a compact group G, where $A_{\gamma}(G)$ and $A_{\Delta}(G)$ are images of the convolution and the twisted convolution, respectively, on $A(G{\times}G)$. Our new approach heavily depends on analysis of co-multiplication on VN(G), the group von-Neumann algebra of G.

Suppose that D is a $C^*$-discrete quantum group and $D_0$ a discrete quantum group associated with D. If there exists a continuous action of D on an operator algebra L(H) so that L(H) becomes a D-module algebra, and if the inner product on the Hilbert space H is D-invariant, there is a unique $C^*$-representation $\theta$ of D associated with the action. The fixed-point subspace under the action of D is a Von Neumann algebra, and furthermore, it is the commutant of $\theta$(D) in L(H).

In this study we consider quantum dynamical semi-group with a normal faithful invariant state. A quantum dynamical semigroup $\alpha\;=\;\{{\alpha}_t\}_{t{\geq}0}$ is a class of linear normal identity-preserving mappings on a von Neumann algebra M with semigroup property and some positivity condition. We investigate the asymptotic behaviors of the semigroup such as ergodicity or mixing properties in terms of their eigenvalues under the assumption that the semigroup satisfies positivity. This extends the result of [13] which is obtained under the assumption that the semi group satisfy 2-positivity.

Versions of Tannaka duality in operator algebraic context have been obtained in [6], [8] etc. Suppose .sigma.is an automorphism of a von Neumann algebra M, on which there is an action .alpha. of a compact group G such that .sigma. vertical bar $M^{\alpha}$=id, where $M^{\tau}$is the fixed point algebra under the action .alpha.. Then it is shown that if there is an action .tau. of a group H which commutes with .alpha., and which is ergodic in the sense that the fixed point algebra $M^{\tau}$ is trivial, then there exists g.mem.G such that .sigma.=.alpha.(g). Recently Evans and Kishimoto ([4]) showed the versions of Tannaka duality in $C^{*}$-settings under some conditions.s.
