The generator problem for finite factors
Proves that every type II1 factor with separable predual is generated by a single operator, equivalently by two self-adjoint operators, resolving the generator problem. More strongly, for every irreducible inclusion of such factors, the unitaries u with form a dense Gδ subset in the trace 2-norm topology.
