Transitivity refers to a relation that is inherited through a chain of connections. In the context of Murray-von Neumann equivalence, it describes how if one projection is equivalent to a second, and the second is equivalent to a third, then the first projection is also equivalent to the third. This concept is vital for understanding how equivalences among projections can be extended and used in operator algebras.
