Abstract
Equivalent conditions are obtained for weak convergence of
iterates of positive contractions in the L1-spaces for
general von Neumann algebra and general JBW algebras, as well as
for Segal-Dixmier Lp-spaces (1≤p<∞) affiliated
to semifinite von Neumann algebras and semifinite JBW algebras
without direct summands of type I2.
