Synopsis
In his work on rings of operators in Hilbert space, John von Neumann discovered a new mathematical structure that resembled the lattice system Ln. In characterizing its properties, von Neumann founded the field of continuous geometry.
This book, based on von Neumann's lecture notes, begins with the development of the axioms of continuous geometry, dimension theory, and--for the irreducible case--the function D(a). The properties of regular rings are then discussed, and a variety of results are presented for lattices that are continuous geometries, for which irreducibility is not assumed. For students and researchers interested in ring theory or projective geometries, this book is required reading.

Condition: Bueno. : En su obra sobre anillos de operadores en el espacio de Hilbert, John von Neumann descubrió una nueva estructura matemática que se asemejaba al sistema de celosía Ln. Al caracterizar sus propiedades, von Neumann fundó el campo de la geometría continua. Este libro, basado en las notas de clase de von Neumann, comienza con el desarrollo de los axiomas de la geometría continua, la teoría de la dimensión y, para el caso irreducible, la función D(a). A continuación, se discuten las propiedades de los anillos regulares y se presentan diversos resultados para las celosías que son geometrías continuas, para las que no se asume la irreductibilidad. Para estudiantes e investigadores interesados en la teoría de anillos o las geometrías proyectivas, este libro es una lectura obligada.
