    I think it will be difficult to find this entry. I mean if I want an entry about factors I will hardly type specific phrase von Neumann algebra factor. On the other hand having factor means having many meanings of the word. Should we have a disambiguation page for factor or what ?

    added a pointer at von Neumann algebra factor to the recent

    • Vaughan Jones, Scott Morrison, Noah Snyder, The classification of subfactors of index at most 5 (arXiv:1304.6141)

    With a little luck somebody will feel insoired to add a bit of content to that entry (or better yet, creae a dedicated one on subfactors)…

    Urs, 3

    factor in a product;

    von Neumann algebra factor

    To some extent, the second is a special case of the first, when one writes an operator algebra by direct integrals, am I right ?

    I guess something like this is where the terminology comes from. The answer is probably in

    • John von Neumann, On rings of operators, reduction theory, Annals of Mathematics Second Series, Vol. 50, No. 2 (1949) (jstor)
