Extract

Let M be a von Neumann algebra acting on a Hilbert space , and let G be a locally compact group. We consider an extension of G by , the unitary group of M. If the triple satisfies an additional axiom, we say that it is an extended covariant system. We define a Hilbert space and operators , acting on . The von Neumann algebra is then the covariance algebra of the extended covariant system , denoted by .
