Enveloping von Neumann algebra

ID: enveloping-von-neumann-algebra

An enveloping von Neumann algebra is a concept from the field of functional analysis, specifically in the context of operator algebras. To understand this concept, we first need to clarify what a von Neumann algebra is. A **von Neumann algebra** is a *-subalgebra of bounded operators on a Hilbert space that is closed in the weak operator topology and contains the identity operator.
