Abstract

Recent results on absolute continuity of Banach space valued operators and convergence theorems on operator algebras are deepened and summarized. It is shown that absolute continuity of an operator T on a von Neumann algebra M with respect to a positive normal functional ψ on M is not implied by the fact that the null projections of ψ are the null projections of T. However, it is proved that the implication above is true whenever M is finite or T is weak*-continuous. Further it is shown that the absolute value preserves the Vitali-Hahn-Saks property if, and only if, the underlying algebra is finite. This result improves classical results on weak compactness of sets of noncommutative measures.
