Abstract

We show that K0 of any finite maximal subdiagonal subalgebra of a separably acting finite von Neumann algebra is isomorphic to K0 of the diagonal of the subalgebra. It results that K0 of any finite, σ-weakly closed, maximal triangular subalgebra of a separably acting finite von Neumann algebra is isomorphic to K0 of the diagonal of the subalgebra, provided that the diagonal of the subalgebra is a Cartan subalgebra of the von Neumann algebra. In addition, given any separably acting type $\operatorname{II}_1$ factor M, we explicitly compute K0 of those triangular subalgebras T of M that have the property that there exists a UHF subalgebra A of M and a standard triangular UHF algebra I in A such that A is σ-weakly dense in M and T is the σ-weak closure of I.
