Unitary representations and von Neumann’s continuous geometries
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 33, August 2026. SignificanceWe unveil a striking limitation in von Neumann’s program of modeling quantum logic through continuous geometries. Continuous geometries have natural groups of symmetries, which arise as the unit groups of their coordinate rings. Our main ...
