von Neumann algebras generated by commutators

Let $A$ be a UHF-algebra of type $n^{\infty}$ and denote its unique and faithful trace by $\tau$. Let $L^2(A)$ be the Hilbert space of the GNS-representation associated to $\tau$. We have two commuting...

Answer by Jesse Peterson for von Neumann algebras generated by commutators

Let $\xi_0 \in L^2(A)$ denote the cyclic vector corresponding to the identity in $A$, and let $P_0$ denote the rank-one projection corresponding to $\xi_0$. Then we clearly have $xP_0 = P_0 x = 0$ for...
