Flow under a function and discrete decomposition of properly infinite W*-algebras

The aim of this thesis is to generalize the classical flow under a function construction to non-abelian W*-algebras. We obtain existence and uniqueness theorems for this generalization. As an application we show that the relationship between a continuous and a discrete decomposition of a properly infinite W*-algebra is that of generalized flow under a function. Since continuous decompositions are known to exist for any properly infinite W*-algebra, this leads to generalizations of Connes' results on discrete decomposition. / Science, Faculty of / Mathematics, Department of / Graduate
