We give a description of operator algebras of free wreath products in terms of fundamental algebras of graphs of operator algebras as well as an explicit formula for the Haar state. This allows us to deduce stability properties for certain…
Graph products for groups were defined by Green in her thesis as a generalization of both Cartesian and free products. In this paper we define the corresponding graph product for reduced and maximal C*-algebras, von Neumann algebras and…
The aim of the article is to provide characterizations of the Haage-rup property for locally compact, second countable groups in terms of approximations of some non-ergodic invariant states by mixing ones for actions on unital…
We introduce the notion of the $\alpha$-Haagerup approximation property for $\alpha\in[0,1/2]$ using a one-parameter family of positive cones studied by Araki and show that the $\alpha$-Haagerup approximation property actually does not…
Free groups are known to be homogeneous, meaning that finite tuples of elements which satisfy the same first-order properties are in the same orbit under the action of the automorphism group. We show that virtually free groups have a…
We study the free complexification operation for compact quantum groups, $G\to G^c$. We prove that, with suitable definitions, this induces a one-to-one correspondence between free orthogonal quantum groups of infinite level, and free…
We introduce an appropriate notion of inner amenability for locally compact quantum groups, study its basic properties, related notions, and examples arising from the bicrossed product construction. We relate these notions to homological…
We show that all orthogonal free quantum groups are isomorphic to variants of the free orthogonal Wang algebra, the hyperoctahedral quantum group or the quantum permutation group. We also obtain a description of their free complexification.…
Let $(\Gamma,\mu)$ be a bipartite graph together with a weight on its vertices. Assume that $\mu$ is an eigenvector for the adjacency matrix of $\Gamma$. Let Aut$(\Gamma, \mu)$ be the automorphism group of the bipartite graph $\Gamma$ that…
We study Lipschitz-free spaces over compact and uniformly discrete metric spaces enjoying certain high regularity properties - having group structure with left-invariant metric. Using methods of harmonic analysis we show that, given a…
A finite von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$ with a faithful normal trace $% \tau $ has Haagerup's approximation property (relative to a von Neumann subalgebra $\mathcal{N}$) if there exists a net $(\phi_{\alpha})_{\alpha\in \Lambda}$ of…
We introduce the weak Haagerup property for locally compact groups and prove several hereditary results for the class of groups with this approximation property. The class contains a priori all weakly amenable groups and groups with the…
We introduce dynamical analogues of the free orthogonal and free unitary quantum groups, which are no longer Hopf algebras but Hopf algebroids or quantum groupoids. These objects are constructed on the purely algebraic level and on the…
The aim of this note is to give a simpler proof of a result of Avsec, which states that $q$-Gaussian algebras have the complete metric approximation property.
In these notes we will survey recent results on various finitary approximation properties of infinite groups. We will discuss various restrictions on groups that are approximated for example by finite solvable groups or finite-dimensional…
We prove that all finitely generated fully residually free groups (limit groups) have a sequence of finite dimensional unitary representations that `strongly converge' to the regular representation of the group. The corresponding statement…
We study property A for metric spaces $X$ with bounded geometry introduced by Guoliang Yu. Property A is an amenability-type condition, which is less restrictive than amenability for groups. The property has a connection with…
We find a finite free resolution of the counit of the free unitary quantum groups of van Daele and Wang and, more generally, Bichon's universal cosovereign Hopf algebras with a generic parameter matrix. This allows us to compute Hochschild…
In this paper we study the $ K $-theory of free quantum groups in the sense of Wang and Van Daele, more precisely, of free products of free unitary and free orthogonal quantum groups. We show that these quantum groups are $ K $-amenable and…
We introduce a new equivalence relation on groups, which we call von Neumann equivalence, that is coarser than both measure equivalence and $W^*$-equivalence. We introduce a general procedure for inducing actions in this setting and use…
