Noncommutative measure and integration

Noncommutative measure and integration MSC classification 46L51. The progress in the theory of von Neumann algebras and its applications during the years 1966 to 1974, stimulated by the Tomita-Takesaki theory and the theory of normal weights, makes the extension, by Irving Ezra Segal, of the noncommutative integration theory important to make normal weights noncentral analogs to integrals by unbounded measures on the class of bounded functions.

History

The original paper on noncommutative measure and integration theory in 1951 led to the Plancherel theorem for noncommutative locally compact groups.
