For a simple graph $\Gamma$ and for unital $C^*$-algebras with GNS-faithful states $(\mathbf{A}_v,\varphi_v)$ for $v\in V\Gamma$, we consider the reduced graph product $(\mathcal{A},\varphi)=*_{v,\Gamma}(\mathbf{A}_{v},\varphi_v)$ , and…

In \cite{BAMU}, an ergodic theorem \`a la Birkhoff-von Neumann for the action of the fundamental group of a compact negatively curved manifold on the boundary of its universal cover is proved. A quick corollary is the irreducibility of the…

We prove that a discrete quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ has the approximation property if and only if a Fej\'{e}r-type representation holds for its $C^*$-algebraic or von Neumann algebraic crossed products. As applications, we extend several…

We prove that a freer quantum group has smaller moments of the self-adjoint main character in the category of finitely generated discrete quantum groups. As a result, the moments are minimized precisely by the unitary free quantum groups…

We study the notions of nuclearity and exactness for module maps on $C^{*}$-algebras which are $C^*$-module over another $C^*$-algebra with compatible actions and examine finite approximation properties of such $C^*$-modules. We prove…

For a locally compact group $G$, let $A^n(G)$ denote the multidimensional Fourier algebra given by $ \otimes_{n}^{eh} A(G).$ This work explores the approximation identity and operator amenability of the algebra $A^n(G)$. Further, we study…

We show that a QWEP von Neumann algebra has the weak* positive approximation property if and only if it is seemingly injective in the following sense: there is a factorization of the identity of $M$ $$Id_M=vu: M{\buildrel…

The extension of FRT quantization theory for the nonsemisimple CK groups is suggested. The quantum orthogonal CK groups are realized as the Hopf algebras of the noncommutative functions over an associative algebras with nilpotent…

This paper is devoted to the study of pointwise convergence of Fourier series for group von Neumann algebras and quantum groups. It is well-known that a number of approximation properties of groups can be interpreted as summation methods…

Consider the free orthogonal quantum groups $O_N^+(F)$ and free unitary quantum groups $U_N^+(F)$ with $N \geq 3$. In the case $F = {\rm id}_N$ it was proved both by Isono and Fima-Vergnioux that the associated finite von Neumann algebra…

We define a new approximation property for tracial von Neumann algebras, called \textit{weakly mixing approximation property} which, for discrete groups and II$_1$ factors, is equivalent to the negation of Kazhdan's property (T).

We provide convergence in the quantum Gromov-Hausdorff propinquity of Latr\'emoli\`ere of some sequences of infinite-dimensional Leibniz compact quantum metric spaces of Rieffel given by AF algebras and Christensen-Ivan spectral spaces. The…

We use free groups to settle a couple questions about the values of the Pimsner-Popa-Voiculescu modulus of quasidiagonality for a set of operators $\Omega$, denoted by qd$(\Omega)$. Along the way we deduce information about the operator…

We introduce and study natural two-parameter families of quantum groups motivated on one hand by the liberations of classical orthogonal groups and on the other by quantum isometry groups of the duals of the free groups. Specifically, for…

Let $A$ be a homogeneous C*-algebra and $\phi$ a state on $A.$ We show that if $\phi$ satisfies a certain faithfulness condition, then there is a net of finite-rank, unital completely positive, $\phi$-preserving maps on $A$ that tend to the…

In this paper, we find the fusion rules for the free wreath product quantum groups $\mathbb{G}\wr_*S_N^+$ for all compact matrix quantum groups of Kac type $\mathbb{G}$ and $N\ge4$. This is based on a combinatorial description of the…

Let $\|\cdot\|$ be a norm on $\mathbb{R}^N$ and let $M$ be a closed $C^1$-submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^N$. Consider the pointed metric space $(M,d)$, where $d$ is the metric given by $d(x,y)=\|x-y\|$, $x,y\in M$. Then the Lipschitz-free space…

In the paper, we prove that reduced free products of unital AH algebras with respect to given faithful tracial states, in the sense of Voiculescu, are Blackadar and Kirhcberg's MF algebras. We also show that the reduced free products of…

Given reduced amalgamated free products of C$^*$-algebras, $(A,phi)=*_i(A_i,phi_i)$ and $(D,psi)=*_i(D_i,psi_i)$, an embedding $A\to D$ is shown to exist assuming there are conditional expectation preserving embeddings $A_i\to D_i$. This…

We propose a new definition of quantum metric spaces, or W*-metric spaces, in the setting of von Neumann algebras. Our definition effectively reduces to the classical notion in the atomic abelian case, has both concrete and intrinsic…
