Abstract
This dissertation investigates Voiculescu’s theorem on approximate equivalence in separable properly infinite factors. We establish the norm-denseness of the set of all reducible operators and prove Voiculescu’s bicommutant theorem. Additionally, we extend these results to the multiplier algebras within separable type III factors.
