   Definition

   A W*-representation, or simply a representation of a von Neumann algebra on a Hilbert space is a morphism of von Neumann algebras , where is the von Neumann algebra of bounded operators on the Hilbert space .

   Properties

   The category of W*-representations of is equivalent to the category of Hilbert W*-modules over .

   See the article Hilbert W*-module for more information.
