Abstract

The q-deformed Araki-Woods von Neumann algebras \(\Gamma _q({\mathcal {H}}_{\mathbb {R}},U_t)^{\prime \prime }\) are factors for all \(q\in (-1,1)\) whenever dim\(({\mathcal {H}}_{\mathbb {R}})\ge 3\). When dim\(({\mathcal {H}}_{\mathbb {R}})=2\) they are factors as well for all q so long as the parameter defining \((U_t)\) is ‘small’ or 1 (trivial) as the case may be.
