Let $G=PSL(2,\mathbb{R})$, let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in $G$, and let $\mathcal{H}$ be an irreducible unitary representation of $G$ with square-integrable matrix coefficients. A theorem in [Goodman, de la Harpe, Jones 1989] states that the…

In previous work, we defined extended versions of von Neumann dimension for Banach space representations of sofic groups. The main application was a definition of l^{p}-dimension and, using this, a proof that the actions of a countable…

We introduce "embedding dimensions" of a family of generators of a finite von Neumann algebra when the von Neumann algebra can be faithfully embedded into the ultrapower of the hyperfinite II$_1$ factor. These embedding dimensions are von…

We prove the following noncommutative version of Lewis's classical result. Every n-dimensional subspace E of Lp(M) (1<p<\infty) for a von Neumann algebra M satisfies d_{cb}(E, RC^n_{p'}) \leq c_p n^{\abs{1/2-1/p}} for some constant c_p…

This article establishes more properties of the $\ell^p$ dimension introduced in a previous article. Given an amenable group $\Gamma$ acting by translation on $\ell^p(\Gamma)$, this is just a number, associated to the (usually infinite…

We present a dynamic subspace approach for efficiently approximating large-scale systems by learning time-continuous trajectories on the Grassmannian manifold. By parameterizing a low-dimensional basis as a geodesic path, the method allows…

Let $(M,\tau,\sigma,\Gamma)$ be a (finite) von Neumann dynamical system and let $N$ be a $\Gamma$-invariant unital von Neumann subalgebra of $M$. If $V\subset L^2(M)$ is a right $N$-submodule whose projection $p_V$ has finite trace in $<…

We approach the study of sub-von Neumann algebras of the group von Neumann algebra $L\Gamma$ for countable groups $\Gamma$ from a dynamical perspective. It is shown that $L(\Gamma)$ admits a maximal invariant amenable subalgebra. The notion…

We establish several properties of the free Stein dimension, an invariant for finitely generated unital tracial $*$-algebras. We give formulas for its behaviour under direct sums and tensor products with finite dimensional algebras. Among a…

Let $G\stackrel{\alpha}{\curvearrowright}(M,\tau)$ be a trace-preserving action of a finite group $G$ on a tracial von Neumann algebra. Suppose that $A \subset M$ is a finitely generated unital $*$-subalgebra which is globally invariant…

Let $V$ and $V'$ be vector spaces of dimension $n$ and $n'$, respectively. Let $k\in\{2,...,n-2\}$ and $k'\in\{2,...,n'-2\}$. We describe all isometric and $l$-rigid isometric embeddings of the Grassmann graph $\Gamma_{k}(V)$ in the…

We define for arbitrary modules over a finite von Neumann algebra $\cala$ a dimension taking values in $[0,\infty]$ which extends the classical notion of von Neumann dimension for finitely generated projective $\cala$-modules and inherits…

In our previous paper, "l^{p}-Version of von Neumann Dimension for Banach Space Representations of Sofic Groups," we define an extended version of von Neumann dimension for actions of a sofic group on a Banach space. This dimension was…

We prove some structure results for isometries between noncommutative Lp spaces associated to von Neumann algebras. We find that an isometry T: Lp(M_1) to Lp(M_2) (1 le p < infty, p not 2) can be canonically expressed in a certain simple…

A `symbolic dynamical system' is a continuous transformation F:X-->X of a closed perfect subset X of A^V, where A is a finite set and V is countable. (Examples include subshifts, odometers, cellular automata, and automaton networks.) The…

Latent variable models are powerful tools for learning low-dimensional manifolds from high-dimensional data. However, when dealing with constrained data such as unit-norm vectors or symmetric positive-definite matrices, existing approaches…

We present the extension to 4 dimensions of an euclidean 2-dimensional model that exhibits spontaneous generation of a metric. In this model gravitons emerge as Goldstone bosons of a global SO(D) X GL(D) symmetry broken down to SO(D). The…

We give a numerical characterization of mutual orthogonality (that is, complementarity) for subalgebras. In order to give such a characterization for mutually orthogonal subalgebras $A$ and $B$ of the $k \times k$ matrix algebra…

For Einstein's General Relativity (GR) or the alternatives suggested up to date the vacuum energy gravitates. We present a model where a new measure is introduced for integration of the total action in the D-dimensional space-time. This…

Starting from the canonical symmetroid $\mathcal{S}(G)$ associated with a groupoid $G$, the issue of describing dynamical maps in the groupoidal approach to Quantum Mechanics is addressed. After inducing a Haar measure on the canonical…
