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 ?

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)…

]]>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 ?
