β¦ Synopsis
It is proved that any power-bounded operator of class C 1, } in a finite von Neumann algebra is conjugate to a unitary. This solves a conjecture stated by I. Kovacs in 1970. An important ingredient of the proof is the study of completely positive projections on some operator space.

Suppose b 1 , ..., b n are self-adjoint elements in a finite von Neumann algebra M with trace { and define a map 9 from M to complex (n+1)-space by the formula 9(x)=({(x), {(b 1 x), ..., {(b n x)). Next let B denote the image of the positive unit ball of M under the map 9. B is called the spectral s
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.
In 1983 L. G. Brown introduced a spectral distribution measure for non-normal elements in a finite von Neumann algebra M with respect to a fixed normal faithful tracial state {. In this paper we compute Brown's spectral distribution measure in case T has a polar decomposition T=UH where U is a Haar
