Numerical Ranges in II1 Factors
Abstract
In this paper, we generalize the notion of the C-numerical range of a matrix to operators in arbitrary tracial von Neumann algebras. For each self-adjoint operator C, the C-numerical range of such an operator is defined; it is a compact, convex subset of C. We explicitly describe the C-numerical ranges of several operators and classes of operators.
