structure J on E which commutes with C. If R is an ortho-gonal
operator on E then it determines aBogoliubov automorphism
of

This paper concerns certain
automorphisms

overan infinite dimensional real Hilbert space. Some notation is
required
before the results can be described.

The case /). =

is due to Blattner[2] (see
also de laHarpe

[4 D.
The paper is
organised
as follows. Section 2 contains the main part of theproof
of theorem 1.1. It turns out to be convenient to reformulate theproblem
in terms of Araki’s self dual CARalgebra [1 ].
In this contextwe state a mild
generalisation
of theorem 1.1(theorem 2.10).
In section 3 we translate back into the Clifford
algebra
notation and discuss some corollaries of the argument.Questions
not unrelated to those discussed here and otherbackground
material may be
ground
in[5 ], [7].

Thus in order to show that for R ESO(E)2,

results we have to consider the operatorAs

3. PROOF OF THEOREM 1.1
The results of the
previous
section show that if R ESO(E)2
then (XR is inner. We revert to the notation of the introduction and for the rest of theproof
follow Blattner[2 ].
If R + I is Hilbert-Schmidt anddim ker (R - I)
is odd then
let {ei }ni=1
be a basis forker (R - I).
Let denote theoperator on E defined
by
Then if T =
Rel...enR,
T ESO(E)2
and dim ker(T
+I)
= 0. Thusby
thepreceding lemma,
aT is inner. But then aR is inner. Thus all the elements ofG2
define innerautomorphisms.
Conversely,
if aR is inner then R - I(resp.
R +I)
is Hilbert-Schmidt whenever is even(resp. odd) by
lemma 2. 6 .But if is even(resp.
odd)
and dim ker(R
+I) (resp.
dim ker(R - I))
is odd(resp. even)
then- R E
G2
and hence (X-R is also innerby
the argument of thepreceding paragraph.
But then - I =R( - R)
so that (X-I I is innercontradicting
lemma 2 . 4. So
REG 2 proving
the theorem.We note some corollaries.
Firstly,
an argument of de laHarpe
andPlymen [4] generalises
to our context. If G is aseparable locally
compact group and p is theregular representation
of Gacting
onL2(G),
then wecan let Poo be an infinite direct sum of
copies
of pacting
on a Hilbert space which we will call E. The naturalcomplex
structure onL2(G)
defines acomplex
structure onE,
sayJ,
so we may form~(E)
and thequasifree representation
~~, ofrø(E) given by
theskew-adjoint
operator(2~.
...1-l)J.
The operators
p(g),
g E G areunitary
on E and so areimplementable
inMoreover neither
p(g)
+ I orp(g) -
I can be Hilbert-Schmidt unless g is theidentity
element of G. Thus we have -PROPOSITION 3 .1. -
If
G is aseparable locally
compact group then G has arepresentation by automorphisms of cø(E), implementable
in ~c~,, and hence arepresentation by automorphisms of
thehyperfinite 111;’/1-;’ factor (0
~,1/2),
such thatonly
theidentity
elementof
Ggives
an inner auto-morphism.
Remark 3.2. Our
assumptions
on C mean that we have not considered the caseof hyperfinite II~, IIIo
orIII1 factors.
It would appear inparticular
that when a
quasifree
state on theself
dual CARalgebra
is determinedby
some
self adjoint
operator with zero in its spectrum, then the structureof
the group
of implementable automorphisms
isconsiderably
morecomplicated.
An
analysis for
irreduciblerepresentations
appears in[3 ].
We note on final result. With C =
