Abstract:
We introduce a notion of transitive family of subspaces relative to a type factor, and hence a notion of transitive family of projections in such a factor. We show that whenever is a factor of type and is generated by two self-adjoint elements, then contains a transitive family of projections. Finally, we exhibit a free transitive family of projections that generate a factor of type .
