I replace the tag "reference-request" by "c-star-algebras".

Jul 23, 2013 at 21:40 comment added Sebastien Palcoux It's ok @BillJohnson, thank you for the exhortation.
Jul 23, 2013 at 19:12 comment added Bill Johnson Definitely a question for MO. Don't cross post unless you say so and give the URL for the other post.

Jul 21, 2013 at 14:07 comment added Sebastien Palcoux Hi Julien, I did not know, thank you for this information. I hesitated between the two. I have posted it on MO first, and then on MSE. Where do you think is best for it ?
Jul 21, 2013 at 13:43 comment added Julien Cross-posted on MSE. Hi Sébastien, you are supposed to let people know when you ask the same question on both sites.

Jul 19, 2013 at 20:12 comment added Sebastien Palcoux @YemonChoi : Thank you for this comment. What's not clear with irreducibility ? If the group $\Gamma$ is ICC (infinite conjugacy classes), it generates a $II_{1}$ factor, and there are plenty of projections in its commutant, so there is no irreducibility for a single element. Next, for any discrete group $\Gamma$, if we take an irreducible representation $H$, the von Neumann algebra it generates is the whole $B(H)$.

I add precision about irreducibility and also the tag von neumann algebra.
Jul 19, 2013 at 18:56 comment added Yemon Choi One more possible example (though not an answer to your question): I think that if you take any non-zero element of the von Neumann algebra of a discrete group $\Gamma$, thought of as an operator on $\ell^2(\Gamma)$, then I think you get noncompact commuting and strictly continuous spectrum, and clearly you can arrange for non-normal. But irreducibility is not clear to me right now
