Abstract:

If A and B are von Neumann algebras and $A\bar \otimes B$ denotes their categorical ${C^ \ast }$-tensor product with the universal property, then the von Neumann tensor product $A\nabla B$ of A and B is defined as \[ A\nabla B = {(A\bar \otimes B)^{ \ast \ast }}/J,\] where $J \subset {(A\bar \otimes B)^{\ast \ast }}$ is an appropriate ideal. It has the universal property.
