Let ϕ be a faithful normal semi-finite weight on a von Neumann algebra$M$. For each normal semi-finite weight ϕ on$M$, invariant under the modular automorphism group Σ of ϕ, there is a unique self-adjoint positive operator$h$, affiliated with the sub-algebra of fixed-points for Σ, such that ϕ=ϕ($h$·). Conversely, each such$h$determines a Σ-invariant normal semi-finite weight. An easy application of this non-commutative Radon-Nikodym theorem yields the result that$M$is semi-finite if and only if Σ consists of inner automorphisms.

An axiomatic formulation is presented for point processes which may be interpreted as ordered sequences of points randomly located on the real line. Such concepts as forward recurrence times and number of points in intervals are defined and related in set-theoretic Note that for α∈$A$,$G$^{α}may not cover$G$_{α}as a convex subgroup and so we cannot use Theorem 1.1 to prove this result. Moreover, all that we know about the$G$^{α}/G_{α}is that each is an extension of a trivially ordered subgroup by a subgroup of$R$. It$B$is a plenary subset of$A$, then there exists a$v$-isomorphism μ of$G$into$V(B, G$^{β}/G_{β}), but whether or not μ is an$o$-isomorphism is not known.
