We define the Schur multipliers of a separable von Neumann algebra with Cartan maximal abelian self-adjoint algebra
, generalizing the classical Schur multipliers of
(ℓ2). We characterize these as the normal
-bimodule maps on
. If
contains a direct summand isomorphic to the hyperfinite II1 factor, then we show that the Schur multipliers arising from the extended Haagerup tensor product
⊗eh
are strictly contained in the algebra of all Schur multipliers.
