We provide a complete characterization of theories of tracial von Neumann algebras that admit quantifier elimination. We also show that the theory of a separable tracial von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{N}$ is never model complete if its…
Compact matrix quantum groups act naturally on Cuntz algebras. The first author isolated certain conditions under which the fixed point algebras under this action are Kirchberg algebras. Hence they are completely determined by their…
The Baum-Connes map for finitely generated free abelian groups is a K-theoretic analogue of the Fourier-Mukai transform from algebraic geometry. We describe this K-theoretic transform in the language of topological correspondences, and…
Let $(H_{\mathbf{R}}, U_t)$ be any strongly continuous orthogonal representation of $\mathbf{R}$ on a real (separable) Hilbert space $H_{\mathbf{R}}$. For any $q\in (-1,1)$, we denote by $\Gamma_q(H_{\mathbf{R}},U_t)^{\prime\prime}$ the…
We describe a universal factorization for a functor with values in finite-dimensional measured algebras. More precisely we contruct the quantum automorphism group of this functor. This general recontruction result allows us to recapture a…
The constructions of free subproducts of von Neumann algebras and free scaled products are introduced, and results about them are proved, including rescaling results and results about free trade in free scaled products.
Quantum bialgebras derivable from Uq(sl2) which contain idempotents and von Neumann regular Cartan-like generators are introduced and investigated. Various types of antipodes (invertible and von Neumann regular) on these bialgebras are…
We study the equivalence relation $R_N$ generated by the (non-free) action of the generalized Thompson group $F_N$ on the unit interval. We show that this relation is a standard, quasipreserving ergodic equivalence relation. Using results…
Let G be a group and let K be a field of characteristic zero. We shall prove that KG can be embedded into a von Neumann unit-regular ring. In the course of the proof, we shall obtain a result relevant to the Atiyah conjecture.
Let A be a maximal abelian self-adjoint subalgebra (masa) in a type II_1 factor M acting via standard representation on L^2(M). The abelian von Neumann algebra A generated by A and JAJ has a type I commutant which contains the projection…
In the first part, the second quantization procedure and the free Bosonic scalar field will be introduced, and the axioms for quantum fields and nets of observable algebras will be discussed. The second part is mainly devoted to an…
We prove the first rigidity and classification theorems for crossed product von Neumann algebras given by actions of non-discrete, locally compact groups. We prove that for arbitrary free probability measure preserving actions of connected…
We study the two-sided Guionnet-Jones-Shlyakhtenko construction applied to the group planar algebra $P(\mathcal{G})$ of a finite non-trivial group $\mathcal{G}$. This produces a sequence of von Neumann algebras $M^k$ for $k \geq 0$ with no…
We obtain a Lie theoretic intrinsic characterization of the connected and simply connected solvable Lie groups whose regular representation is a factor representation. When this is the case, the corresponding von Neumann algebras are…
We study group algebras for compact groups in the category of real and complex weakly complete vector spaces. We also show that the group algebra is a quotient of the weakly complete universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra of the…
Using Godement mean on the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra of a locally compact quantum group we obtain strong separation results for quantum positive-definite functions associated to a subclass of representations, strengthening for example the…
Let $M$ be a finite von Neumann algebra (resp. a type II$_{1}$ factor) and let $N\subset M$ be a II$_{1}$ factor (resp. $N\subset M$ have an atomic part). We prove that the inclusion $N\subset M$ is amenable implies the identity map on $M$…
Recently, we have shown that von Neumann algebras form a model for Selinger and Valiron's quantum lambda calculus. In this paper, we explain our choice of interpretation of the duplicability operator "!" by studying those von Neumann…
The main result of this paper is a generalization of Popa's free independence result for subalgebras of ultraproduct ${\rm II_1}$ factors [Po95] to the framework of ultraproduct von Neumann algebras $(M^\omega, \varphi^\omega)$ where $(M,…
We give some natural conditions on actions of discrete countable groups on abelian locally compact groups of Lie type that imply factoriality of the group von Neumann algebras of their semidirect products. This allows us to give a fairly…
