Finite dimensional approximations of certain amalgamated free products of groups

Operator Algebras 2023-10-16 v2 Group Theory

Abstract

A group is called matricial field (MF) if it admits finite dimensional approximate unitary representations which are approximately faithful and approximately contained in the left regular representation. This paper provides a new class of MF groups by showing that given two amenable groups with a common normal subgroup, the amalgamated free product is MF.
