Using the Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients, we develop a K-theory formula for reduced C*-algebras of strongly $0$-$E$-unitary inverse semigroups, or equivalently, for certain reduced partial crossed products. In the case of…
We investigate the relation of countable closed subsets of the reals with respect to continuous monotone embeddability; we show that there are exactly aleph_1 many equivalence classes with respect to this embeddability relation. This is an…
These notes cover the contents of three survey lectures held at the ICTP Trieste Summer school on High dimensional manifold theory 2001. They introduce techniques coming from the theory of operator algebras. We will focus on the basic…
We study algebras on which the Berenstein-Zelevinsky conjecture is true. In particular, we prove that this conjecture is true "up to localization".
The cyclotomic trace of B\"okstedt-Hsiang-Madsen, the subject of B\"okstedt's lecture at the congress in Kyoto, is a map of pro-abelian groups K_*(A) -> TR_*^.(A;p) from Quillen's algebraic K-theory to a topological refinement of Connes'…
An operator system modulo the kernel of a completely positive linear map of the operator system gives rise to an operator system quotient. In this paper, operator system quotients and quotient maps of certain matrix algebras are considered.…
We give a modification of I. Klep and M. Schweighofer algebraic reformulation of Connes' embedding problem by considering *-algebra of the countably generated free group. This allows to consider only quadratic polynomials in unitary…
The Connes Embedding Problem (CEP) asks whether every separable II_1 factor embeds into an ultrapower of the hyperfinite II_1 factor. We show that the CEP is equivalent to the computability of the universal theory of every type II_1 von…
We deal with some aspects of the theory of conformal embeddings of affine vertex algebras, providing a new proof of the Symmetric Space Theorem and a criterion for conformal embeddings of equal rank subalgebras. We finally study some…
In 1989 H. Tverberg proposed a quite general conjecture in Discrete geometry, which could be considered as the common basis for many results in Combinatorial geometry and at the same time as a discrete analogue of the common transversal…
Tsirelson's problem asks whether the set of nonlocal quantum correlations with a tensor product structure for the Hilbert space coincides with the one where only commutativity between observables located at different sites is assumed. Here…
Using an approach to the Jacobian Conjecture by L.M. Dru\.zkowski and K. Rusek 12], G. Gorni and G. Zampieri [19], and A.V. Yagzhev[27], we describe a correspondence between finite dimensional symmetric algebras and homogeneous tuples of…
We review several (and provide new) results on the theory of moments, sums of squares and basic semi-algebraic sets when convexity is present. In particular, we show that under convexity, the hierarchy of semidefinite relaxations for…
We have already conjectured 2 important guesses regarding Hypo-Lie algebra and modular simple Lie algebra. We would like to attach 2 important guesses more to this conjecture. Such new guesses are related to the Steinberg module.
We investigate the complexity of isomorphism relations for classes of finitely generated and n-generated computably enumerable (c.e.) algebras, presented via c.e. presentations -- that is, as quotients of term algebras over decidable sets…
In this Note, we present recent developments in the Renormalization Theory of quadratic polynomials and discuss their applications, with an emphasis on the MLC conjecture, the problem of local connectivity of the Mandelbrot set, and on its…
In the 1970s Alain Connes identified the appropriate notion of amenabilty for von Neumann algebras, and used it to obtain a deep internal finite dimensional approximation structure for these algebras. This structure is exactly what is…
Furstenberg's $\times 2 \times 3$ conjecture has remained a central open problem in ergodic theory for over $50$ years, and it serves as the basic test case for a broad class of rigidity phenomena which are believed to hold in…
Suppose we wish to embed an (associative) $k$-algebra $A$ in a $k$-algebra $R$ generated in some specified way; e.g., by two elements, or by copies of given $k$-algebras $A_1,$ $A_2,$ $A_3.$ Several authors have obtained sufficient…
As a consequence of Kirchberg's work, Connes' Embedding Conjecture is equivalent to the property that every homomorphism of the group $F_\infty\times F_\infty$ into the unitary group $U(\ell^2)$ with the strong topology is pointwise…
