We associate to any contraction T (and, more generally, to any operator T of class C \ ) in a von Neumann algebra M an operator kernel K : (T) (|:| <1) which allows us to define various kinds of functional calculis for T. When M is finite, we use this kernel to give a short proof of the Fuglede Kadi

Let (M, 1 ) be a Hopf von Neumann algebra. The operator predual M \* of M is a completely contractive Banach algebra with multiplication m=1 \* : M \* M \* Γ M \* . We call (M, 1 ) operator amenable if the completely contractive Banach algebra M \* is operator amenable, i.e., for every operator M \*
## 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 coβrigidity for von Neumann algebras, which is different from relative property T of Ma
In this paper we define and study certain von Neumann algebra invariants associated to the Dirac operator acting on L 2 spinors on the universal covering space of a compact, Riemannian spin manifold. We first study a Novikov Shubin type invariant, which is a conformal invariant but which is not inde
