We give a survey of recent classification results for crossed product von Neumann algebras arising from measure preserving group actions on probability spaces. This includes II_1 factors with uncountable fundamental groups and the…

We investigate tensor products of random matrices, and show that independence of entries leads asymptotically to $\varepsilon$-free independence, a mixture of classical and free independence studied by M{\l}otkowski and by Speicher and…

We show that the amalgamated free product of weakly exact von Neumann algebras is weakly exact. This is done by using a universal property of Toeplitz-Pimsner algebras and a locally convex topology on bimodules of von Neumann algebras,…

We find a general family of selfless inclusions in reduced amalgamated free products of C*-algebras. Apart from generalizing prior works due to McClanahan, Ivanov and Omland, our work yields a few other applications. We present a short new…

We give a general description of the discrete decompositions of type III factors arising as central summands of free product von Neumann algebras based on our previous works. This enables us to give several precise structural results on…

We consider amalgamated unital full free products of the form $A_1*_DA_2$, where $A_1, A_2$ and $D$ are finite dimensional C*-algebras and there are faithful traces on $A_1$ and $A_2$ whose restrictions to $D$ agree. We provide several…

Let $M$ be a compact one--manifold, and let $\mathrm{Diff}^{1+\mathrm{bv}}(M)$ denote the group of $C^1$ orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of $M$ whose first derivatives have bounded variation. We prove that if $G$ is a group which is…

Let $\mathscr{R}$ be a type $II_1$ von Neumann algebra. We show that every unitary in $\mathscr{R}$ may be decomposed as the product of six symmetries (that is, self-adjoint unitaries) in $\mathscr{R}$, and every unitary in $\mathscr{R}$…

This paper collates, presents, and expands upon technology and results obtained as part of the author's PhD thesis. We generalize work done in the $\sigma$-finite setting by the author, Goldbring, Hart, and Sinclair by producing a language…

It has recently been proved that the class of unital exact C*-algebras is closed under taking reduced amalgamated free products. In particular, this implied that the class of exact discrete groups is closed under taking amalgamated free…

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 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…

We present a product of pairs of pointed Hilbert spaces that, in the context of Boz\.ejko, Leinert and Speicher's theory of conditionally free probability, plays the role of the reduced free product of pointed Hilbert spaces, and thus gives…

The groupoid normalisers of a unital inclusion $B\subseteq M$ of von Neumann algebras consist of the set $\mathcal{GN}_M(B)$ of partial isometries $v\in M$ with $vBv^*\subseteq B$ and $v^*Bv\subseteq B$. Given two unital inclusions…

We introduce the notion of the free product of $q$-matroids, which is the $q$-analogue of the free product of matroids. We study the properties of this noncommutative binary operation, making an extensive use of the theory of cyclic flats.…

We prove some unique factorization results for tensor products of free quantum group factors. They are type III analogues of factorization results for direct products of bi-exact groups established by Ozawa and Popa. In the proof, we first…

We study few properties of square-free integers in certain equations. Using this property, we derive some infinite products in powers of square free numbers. Also, we present a method, to convert power series and trigonometric series to…

With a minor change made in the previous construction we observe that any reduced HNN extension is precisely a compressed algebra of a certain reduced amalgamated free product in both the von Neumann algebra and the $C^*$-algebra settings.…

We will show a centrally free action of an amenable rigid C$^*$-tensor category on a properly infinite von Neumann algebra has the Rohlin property. This enables us to prove the fullness of the crossed product of a full factor by minimal…

We generalize basic results relating the associated graded Lie algebra and the holonomy Lie algebra from finitely presented, commutator-relators groups to arbitrary finitely presented groups. In the process, we give an explicit formula for…
