Is every pointwise-weakly continuous one-parameter group of automorphisms of B(H) given by a Hamiltonian?

Let $\mathcal H$ be a Hilbert space, $\mathscr B(\mathcal H)$ be the von Neumann algebra of all bounded operators on $\mathcal H$, and let $\sigma $ be a one-parameter group of automorphisms of $\...

Two more topologies on unitary groups

Let $H$ be a separable Hilbert space and let $\operatorname{U}(H)$ be the group of unitary transformations of $H$. It is well known that the weak, strong and compact-open topologies on $\operatorname{...

Is the center of the automorphism group of a von Neumann algebra M trivial whenever M is a factor?

Question: Is the center of the automorphism group of a von Neumann algebra $\mathscr{M}$ trivial (=$\{\mathrm{id}\}$) whenever $\mathscr{M}$ is a factor (=$\mathscr{M}$ has center $\{\lambda I; \...
