Abstract
AbstractLet ℳ be a type II1 von Neumann algebra, τ a trace in ℳ, and L2 (ℳ, τ) the GNS Hilbert space of τ . We regard the unitary group Uℳ as a subset of L2(ℳ, τ) and characterize the shortest smooth curves joining two fixed unitaries in the L2 metric. As a consequence of this we obtain that Uℳ, though a complete (metric) topological group, is not an embedded riemannian submanifold of L2(ℳ, τ)
