Abstract:
Let $\mathcal {S}$ be a semigroup of partial isometries acting on a complex, infinite-dimensional, separable Hilbert space. In this paper we seek criteria which will guarantee that the selfadjoint semigroup $\mathcal {T}$ generated by $\mathcal {S}$ consists of partial isometries as well. Amongst other things, we show that this is the case when the set $\mathcal {Q}(\mathcal {S})$ of final projections of elements of $\mathcal {S}$ generates an abelian von Neumann algebra of uniform finite multiplicity.References
