A Lebesgue Decomposition Theorem for C* Algebras
Michael G. Henle · Canadian Mathematical Bulletin · 1972
This paper, by generalizing von Neumann's proof of the Radon-Nikodym and Lebesgue decomposition theorems [3], obtains analogous results for positive linear functional on a C* algebra. The concept of "absolute continuity" used and the Radon-Nikodym portion of the resulting theorem are due to Dye [2].
