We show the analogue for the entropy of automorphisms of finite von Neumann algebras of the classical formula H(T )=H( i=0 T &i P | i=1 T &i P), where T is a measure preserving transformation of a probability space, and P is a generator.

✦ Synopsis
We modify slightly Voiculescu's definition of approximation entropy of automorphisms of finite von Neumann algebras and compare it with the entropy of Connes and Sto% rmer. For this the notion of a generator is relevant, as its existence implies that the entropies coincide. Special emphasis is put on binary shifts. Examples of automorphisms without generators are also considered.

Let M be a factor with separable predual and G a compact group of automorphisms of M whose action is minimal, i.e., M G$ & M=C, where M G denotes the G-fixed point subalgebra. Then every intermediate von Neumann algebra M G /N/M has the form N=M H for some closed subgroup H of G. An extension of thi
Let T be the generic trace algebra generated by the algebra R of two generic 2 = 2 matrices and by all traces of the matrices from R over a field K. We construct new automorphisms of T and R. They induce automorphisms of the polynomial algebra in five variables which fix two of the variables. Our au
## Abstract In this paper, we consider a generalization of property T of Kazhdan for groups and property T of Connes for von Neumann algebras. We introduce another relative property T for groups corresponding to co‐rigidity for von Neumann algebras, which is different from relative property T of Ma
