Haagerup approximation property for finite von Neumann algebras

Authors:  Paul Jolissaint

Summary:  We study finite von Neumann algebras $M$ that admit an approximate identity made with completely positive normal maps whose extention to $L^2(M)$ are compact operators. We prove heredity results, and we state sufficient conditions on actions of countable groups to ensure that the crossed product algebras have the same property.

Keywords:  von Neumann algebras, completely positive maps, Haagerup property, crossed products
