Lecture Notes on Noncommutative Lp-Spaces

Abstract

These lecture notes were written during a mini-course on noncommutative Lp-spaces at the Basque Center of Applied Mathematics. It starts presenting the theory of weights and traces in von Neumann algebra, followed by the theory of noncommutative measure. After that, it presents a construction of these spaces in all detail and give some important results e.g. the noncommutative Radon-Nikodym theorem.
