Murray and von Neumann [1] and von Neumann [2] introduced the notion of free action on abelian von Neumann algebras and used it for construction of certain factors (see Dixmier [3]). Kallman [4] generalized the notion of free action of automorphisms to von Neumann algebras, not necessarily abelian, by using implicitly the dependent elements of an automorophism.
