Tomita–Takesaki theory
In the theory of von Neumann algebras, a part of the mathematical field of functional analysis, Tomita–Takesaki theory  is a method for constructing modular automorphisms of von Neumann algebras from the polar decomposition of a certain involution.

The theory was introduced by Minoru Tomita (1967), but his work was hard to follow and mostly unpublished, and little notice was taken of it until Masamichi Takesaki (1970) wrote an account of Tomita's theory.
