We establish a complete algebraic characterization of self-similar iterated function systems $\Phi$ on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, for which there exists a positive probability vector $p$ so that the Fourier transform of the self-similar measure…

Given a type I von Neumann algebra $M$ with a faithful normal semi-finite trace $\tau,$ let $L(M, \tau)$ be the algebra of all $\tau$-measurable operators affiliated with $M.$ We give a complete description of all derivations on the algebra…

We prove that every positive trace on a countably generated *-algebra can be approximated by positive traces on algebras of generic matrices. This implies that every countably generated tracial *-algebra can be embedded into a metric…

A heretofore longstanding open question of Kaplansky was, "Is every Type II_1 AW*-factor a von Neumann algebra?" In this paper, we answer this question in the affirmative. As a consequence, we establish that every 2-quasitrace on a unital…

We figure out the explicit expression for the trace of the field equations associated to generic higher derivative theories of gravity endowed with Lagrangians depending upon the metric and its Riemann tensor, together with arbitrary order…

Let $M$ and $N$ be arbitrary von Neumann algebras. For any $a$ in $M$ or in $N$, let $\Delta_{\lambda}(a)$ denote the $\lambda$-Aluthge transform of $a$. Suppose that $M$ has no abelian direct summand. We prove that every bijective map…

We supply the first proof of Krein's Trace Theorem which does not use complex analysis. Our proof holds for~$\sigma$-finite von Neumann algebras $\mathcal{M}$ of type II and unbounded perturbations from the predual of~$\mathcal{M}$.

We show that an operator valued $\alpha$-completely positive map on a group G is given by a unitary representation of G on a Krein space which satisfies some condition. Moreover, two unitary equivalent such unitary representations define…

For a class of linear maps on a von Neumann factor, we associate two objects, bounded operators and trace class operators, both of which play the roles of Choi matrices. Each of them is positive if and only if the original map on the factor…

Suppose $\mathscr M$ and $\mathscr N$ are von Neumann algebras. Two operators $A$ and $B$ in $\mathscr M$ are said to be orthogonal if $A^*B=0$, meaning their ranges are orthogonal. Let $\varphi\colon\mathscr M\to\mathscr N$ be a map. We…

We completely characterize when the algebra of an ample groupoid with coefficients in an arbitrary unital ring is von Neumann regular and, more generally, when the algebra of a graded ample groupoid is graded von Neumann regular. Our main…

We give a complete description of ring isomorphisms between algebras of measurable operators affiliated with von Neumann algebras of type II$_1.$

We characterise all Jordan triple product homomorphisms, that is, mappings $\Phi$ satisfying $$ \Phi(ABA) = \Phi(A)\Phi(B)\Phi(A) $$ on the set of all Hermitian $2 \times 2$ complex matrices.

The aim of this note is to establish two Radon--Nikodym type theorems for nonnegative Hermitian forms defined on a real or complex vector space. We apply these results to prove the known Radon--Nikodym theorems of the theory of…

This paper establishes a necessary and sufficient condition for the coincidence of non-commutative $\log$-algebras constructed from different exact normal semifinite traces. Consequently, we provide a criterion for the isomorphism of…

We study order and topological properties of the non-commutative Arens algebra associated with arbitrary Maharam trace.

We introduce a new class of operator algebras -- tracially complete C*-algebras -- as a vehicle for transferring ideas and results between C*-algebras and their tracial von Neumann algebra completions. We obtain structure and classification…

Let $\phi$ be a linear map from the $n\times n$ matrices ${\mathcal M}_n$ to the $m\times m$ matrices ${\mathcal M}_m$. It is known that $\phi$ is $2$-positive if and only if for all $K\in {\mathcal M}_n$ and all strictly positive $X\in…

By extending the new supersymmetric localization principle introduced in \cite{Choi:2021yuz}, we present a path integral derivation of the Selberg trace formula on arbitrary compact Riemann surfaces, including the case of arbitrary…

Let $\phi$ be a positive unital normal map of a von Neumann algebra $M$ into itself, and assume there is a family of normal $\phi$-invariant states which is faithful on the von Neumann algebra generated by the image of $\phi$. It is shown…
