Abstract
Let \(\varphi \) be a trace on von Neumann algebra \(\mathcal{M}\) , \(A,B \in \mathcal{M}\) , and \(\left\| B \right\| < 1\) , \([A,B] = AB - BA\) . Then \(\varphi \left( {\left| {[A,B]} \right|} \right) \leqslant 2\varphi \left( {\left| A \right|} \right)\) . Let \(\tau \) be a faithful normal semifinite trace on \(\mathcal{M}\) , \(S(\mathcal{M},\tau )\) be the \( ^{*} \) -algebra of all \(\tau \) -measurable operators. If \(A \in {{L}_{2}}(\mathcal{M},\tau )\) and \(\operatorname{Re} A = \lambda \left| A \right|\) with \(\lambda \in \{ - 1,1\} \) , then \(A = \lambda \left| A \right|\) . An operator \(A \in {{L}_{2}}(\mathcal{M},\tau )\) is Hermitian if \(\tau ({{A}^{2}}) = \tau (A{\kern 1pt} ^{*}{\kern 1pt} A)\) . Let positive operators \(A,B \in S(\mathcal{M},\tau )\) be invertible in \(S(\mathcal{M},\tau )\) and \(Y: = ({{A}^{{ - 1}}} - {{B}^{{ - 1}}})(A - B)\) . If Y, \({{A}^{{1/2}}}Y{{A}^{{ - 1/2}}} \in {{L}_{1}}(\mathcal{M},\tau )\) , then \(\tau (Y) \leqslant 0\) . Let an operator \(A \in S(\mathcal{M},\tau )\) be hyponormal and \(A = B + {\text{i}}C\) be its Cartesian decomposition. If (i) \(BC \in {{L}_{1}}(\mathcal{M},\tau )\) or (ii) \(C = {{C}^{3}} \in \mathcal{M}\) and \([B,C] \in {{L}_{1}}(\mathcal{M},\tau )\) , then \(A\) is normal.
