An l^{p}-Version of von-Neumann Dimension For Banach Space Representations of Sofic Groups

Functional Analysis 2014-04-03 v7 Operator Algebras

Abstract

A. Gournay defined a notion of lpl^{p}-dimension for subspaces of the l^{q}-left-regular representation of an amenable discrete group. We give an alternative definition that works for sofic groups and a different notion for groups satisfying the Connes embedding conjecture, and for more general representations on Banach spaces. We extend certain results due to Gournay, as well as discuss l^{p}-Betti numbers of Free groups.

65 pages, 7 figures. This is the final version. To appear in Journal of Functional Analysis. Much of the old article has been added to arXiv:1302.2286 so as to make the two papers roughly the same length
