In 1967, Tomita clarified the algebraic relation between a von Neumann algebra M and its commutant M¹ in two unpublished papers [21] and [22], and then proved the commutation theorem for tensor products of von Neumann algebras (ie (M M₂)'= M'® M½)· In order to study the relation between M and M'in a standard representation,(for example, a cyclic representation of M induced by a faithful normal state), he introduced two basic notions, called a generalized and modular Hilbert algebras, respectively, both being related to but different from Dixmier's quasi-Hilbert algebra [4]. See $2 for definitions. It is not very difficult to show that every von Neumann algebra is isomorphic to the left von Neumann algebra of a generalized Hilbert algebra. However, by means of generalized Hilbert algebras we see how the involution of a von Neumann algebra is twisted in a Hilbert space structure. To explain his basic idea more clearly, suppose P is a faithful normal state of a von Neumann algebra M. Then the involution: in the Hilbert space structure
