On the convergence of operators. (English) Zbl 0663.60001
This paper is a contribution to generalized probability theory. A non- commutative version of a known theorem in conventional probability theory is proved.
Let m be a faithful state on the set of all closed linear subspaces of a complex separable Hilbert space H(dim $$H\geq 3)$$ and let $$\{A_ n\}$$ be a sequence of uniformly bounded self-adjoint operators on H such that the sequence $$\{A_ n\}$$ converges on A in the square mean with respect to the state m. Then $$A_ n$$ converges on A in distribution (with respect to m). The assumption of uniform boundedness is necessary.
