Apr 29, 2013 at 17:19 comment added Carlos De la Mora Yes, you are correct. Thank you for your help. I need to think more on what is exactly what I want to ask.
Apr 28, 2013 at 4:00 comment added Jesse Peterson In either case, if $H = \mathbb C^2$, and $A = \mathbb M_2(\mathbb C)$. Then requiring $A$ to be isomorphic to $\mathbb C_{H_2} \otimes B(H_1)$ means that $H_1$ is two dimensional. Since $H$ is isomorphic to $H_2 \otimes H_1$ you then know that $H_2$ is one dimensional. Thus $P_{H_2} \not= 1$.
Apr 28, 2013 at 3:52 comment added Jesse Peterson Perhaps I am still confused about your question. When you ask for $H$ to be isomorphic to $H_2 \otimes H_2$ such that $A$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb C_{H_2} \otimes B(H_1)$, am I correct that you mean for the second isomorphism to be implemented by the first?

Apr 27, 2013 at 18:03 comment added Carlos De la Mora In order to be a counter example we will need to say why is $1-P_{H_2}\neq 0$. So in other words I to be a counter example you need to show that there are some semi-finite faithful normal weights that are not constant multiples of a trace. However your comment does make me realize that I probably can drop the assumption of $\varphi$ being faithful.

Apr 25, 2013 at 3:35 comment added Jesse Peterson In that case a simple counter example is to take $A = B(H)$. If the dimension of $H$ is at least 2 then the right hand side of the formula cannot be faithful. Just consider $T = 1 - P_{H_2}$.
Apr 25, 2013 at 2:30 comment added Carlos De la Mora I am sorry for not being clear.Yes, $P_{H_2}$ is the projection onto $H_2$ and $T$ lives in $A^{+}$. Since $A$ should be isomorphic to $B(H_1)$ we identify $T$ with an element in $B(H_1)$ and also call it $T$ by abuse of notation. I hope now is clear.
Apr 25, 2013 at 0:25 comment added Jesse Peterson It's a bit unclear to me how you are making sense of the formula. Does $P_{H_2}$ denote the orthogonal projection onto $H_2$? If so, what is the domain, and where does $T$ live?
