Abstract

Following Emch, we define an algebraic K-system to be an infinite chain of algebras imbedded one into the other and connected by a one-parameter automorphism group. We consider topological consequences as well as convergence properties of states. Finally, we discuss the connection of this concept with Jones' index theory.
