For a Von Neumann algebra with a cyclic separating vector, this is a densely defined antilinear operator. It is closable: the commutant orbit lies in the domain of its antilinear adjoint and is dense. Write for its closure and for its polar decomposition. In finite dimension it is everywhere defined and invertible. For a tracial vector, is isometric and extends to an antiunitary involution.
