Suppose that $\Gamma=(V,E)$ is a graph with vertices $V$, edges $E$, a free group action on the vertices $\mathbb{Z}^d \curvearrowright V$ with finitely many orbits, and a linear operator $D$ on the Hilbert space $l^2(V)$ such that $D$…

We introduce an embedding of the free magma on a set A into the direct product of the free magma on a singleton set and the free semigroup on A. This embedding is then used to prove several theorems related to algebraic independence of…

We derive a generating series for the number of free subgroups of finite index in $\Delta^+ = \mathbb{Z}_p*\mathbb{Z}_q$ by using a connection between free subgroups of $\Delta^+$ and certain hypermaps (also known as ribbon graphs or "fat"…

Every finitely generated self-similar group naturally produces an infinite sequence of finite $d$-regular graphs $\Gamma_n$. We construct self-similar groups, whose graphs $\Gamma_n$ can be represented as an iterated zig-zag product and…

We develop a notion of a generalized Cuntz-Krieger family of projections and partial isometries where the range of the partial isometries need not have trivial intersection. We associate to these generalized Cuntz-Krieger families a…

Over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$, let $p$ and $q$ be monic polynomials with degree $2$ in $\mathbb{F}[t]$. The free Hamilton algebra of the pair $(p,q)$ is the free noncommutative algebra in two generators $a$ and $b$ subject only to…

For a finitely generated group $\Gamma$ denote by $\mu(\Gamma)$ the growth coefficient of $\Gamma$, that is, the infimum over all real numbers $d$ such that $s_n(\Gamma)<n!^d$. We show that the growth coefficient of a virtually free group…

We show that the number of conjugacy classes of intersections $A\cap B^g$, for fixed finitely generated subgroups $A, B<F$ of a free group, is bounded above in terms of the ranks of $A$ and $B$; this confirms an intuition of Walter Neumann.…

Suppose M is a hyperfinite von Neumann algebra with a tracial state $\phi$ and $\{a_1,...,a_n\}$ is a set of selfadjoint generators for M. We calculate $\delta_0(a_1,...,a_n)$, the modified free entropy dimension of $\{a_1,...,a_n\}$.…

We show that if $\Gamma$ is an infinite finitely generated finitely presented sofic group with zero first $L^{2}$ Betti number then the von Neumann algebra $L(\Gamma)$ is strongly $1$-bounded in the sense of Jung. In particular,…

In this article, we consider actions of \mathcal{Z}_+^d, \mathcal{R}_+^d and finitely generated free groups on a von Neumann algebras $M$ and prove a version of maximal ergodic inequality. Additionally, we establish non-commutative…

We give some general theorems on free algebras of varieties of Boolean algebras with operators; a hitherto new result is obtained for Pinter's substitution algebras. For n\geq 3, and m>1, there is a generating set of the free algebra freely…

This paper mainly concerns the von Neumann algebras induced by a tuple of multiplication operators on Bergman spaces which arise essentially from holomorphic proper maps over higher dimensional domains. We study the structures and abelian…

The groups distinguish their von Neumann algebras, in the case when these are factors.

We introduced a family of infinite graphs directly associated with a class of von Neumann automaton model A_{G}. These are finite state models used in symbolic dynamics: stimuli models and in control theory. In the context of groupoid von…

We apply the free product construction to various local algebras in algebraic quantum field theory. If we take the free product of infinitely many identical half-sided modular inclusions with ergodic canonical endomorphism, we obtain a…

We present a new approach to cyclic homology that does not involve the Connes differential and is based on a `noncommutative equivariant de Rham complex' of an associative algebra. The differential in that complex is a sum of the Karoubi-de…

We present families of pairs of finite von Neumann algebras $A\subset M$ where $A$ is a maximal injective masa in the type $\mathrm{II}_1$ factor $M$ with separable predual. Our results make use of the strong mixing and the asymptotic…

A connected graph is called \emph{geodetic} if there is a unique shortest path between each pair of vertices. We introduce a systematic method for constructing new presentations of free products that give rise to previously unknown geodetic…

We study the automorphism groups attached to a free algebra with multiple, possibly infinitely many, composition laws. As an application, we prove that the automorphism group of finitely generated vertex algebras over noetherian rings are…
