Abstract

In a von Neumann factor of type II with semifinite faithful normal trace τ, the q-th Schatten-type norm q of an operator A is defined as Aq=(τ(|A|q))1q. We will prove that for every self-adjoint operator H and any numbers q>1, ε>0, there exists a self-adjoint perturbation operator A such that A<ε, Aq<ε, and H+A has a pure point spectrum. We will also discuss the possibility of transferring this result onto other von Neumann factors.
