Von Neumann Algebras
In the context of principal graphs, a node refers to a point or vertex that represents an equivalence class of an operator algebra. Nodes help to illustrate the structure and relationships within the graph, often representing distinct projections or subalgebras within a given von Neumann algebra. The connections between nodes reflect the interactions and hierarchies of these algebraic entities.
congrats on reading the definition of Node. now let's actually learn it.
