Abstract
For i=1,2, let (Mi,Di) be pairs consisting of a Cartan MASA Di in a von Neumann algebra Mi, let atom(Di) be the set of atoms of Di, and let Si be the lattice of Bures-closed Di bimodules in Mi. We show that when Mi have separable preduals, there is a lattice isomorphism between S1 and S2 if and only if the sets
{(Q1, Q2)∈ atom(Di)× atom(Di): Q1MiQ2≠ (0)}
have the same cardinality. In particular, when Di is nonatomic, Si is isomorphic to the lattice of projections in L([0,1],m) where m is Lebesgue measure, regardless of the isomorphism classes of M1 and M2.
