Abstract

We give a short proof of a result of T. Bates and T. Giordano stating that any uniformly bounded Borel cocycle into a finite von Neumann algebra is cohomologous to a unitary cocycle. We also point out a separability issue in their proof. Our approach is based on the existence of a non-positive curvature metric on the positive cone of a finite von Neumann algebra.
