These notes provide an explanation of the type classification of von Neumann algebras, which has made many appearances in recent work on entanglement in quantum field theory and quantum gravity. The goal is to bridge a gap in the literature…
We study the von Neumann algebra, generated by the unitary representations of infinite-dimensional groups nilpotent group $B_0^{\mathbb N}$. The conditions of the irreducibility of the regular and quasiregular representations of…
The superamalgamation property is a strong form of the amalgamation property which applies to ordered structures; it has found many applications in algebraic logic. We show that superamalgamation has some interest also from the pure…
In this paper we develop the theory of strongly singular subalgebras of von Neumann algebras, begun in earlier work. We mainly examine the situation of type $\tto$ factors arising from countable discrete groups. We give simple criteria for…
We first prove that in a sigma-finite von Neumann factor M, a positive element $a$ with properly infinite range projection R_a is a linear combination of projections with positive coefficients if and only if the essential norm ||a||_e with…
Guionnet et al. gave a construction of a II_1 factor associated to a subfactor planar algebra. In this paper we define an unshaded planar algebra. To any unshaded planar algebra P we associate a finite von Neumann algebra M_P. We prove that…
In this paper we prove that whenever $G$ is hyperbolic relative to a family of exact, ressidually finite subgroups $\{H_1, \ldots, H_n\}$, the corresponding von Neumann algebra $\mathcal L(G)$ is solid relative to the family of subalgebras…
We prove that for any group G in a fairly large class of generalized wreath product groups, the associated von Neumann algebra L(G) completely "remembers" the group G. More precisely, if L(G) is isomorphic to the von Neumann algebra…
Ge asked the question whether $LF_{\infty}$ can be embedded into $LF_2$ as a maximal subfactor. We answer it affirmatively by three different approaches, all containing the same key ingredient: the existence of maximal subgroups with…
In the first part of this paper, we give a new analytical proof of a theorem of C. Sabbah on integrable deformations of meromorphic connections on $\mathbb P^1$ with coalescing irregular singularities of Poincar\'e rank 1, and generalizing…
We define the notion of self-tracial stability for tracial von Neumann algebras and show that a tracial von Neumann algebra satisfying the Connes Embedding Problem is self-tracially stable if and only if it is amenable. We then generalize a…
We examine the properties of existentially closed (R^omega-embeddable) II_1 factors. In particular, we use the fact that every automorphism of an existentially closed (R^omega-embeddable) II_1 factor is approximately inner to prove that…
We introduce the notion of L^2-rigidity for von Neumann algebras, a generalization of property (T) which can be viewed as an analogue for the vanishing of 1-cohomology into the left regular representation of a group. We show that…
We introduce the notion of biexactness for general von Neumann algebras, naturally extending the notion from group theory. We show that biexactness implies solidity for von Neumann algebras, and that many of the examples of solid von…
Possible irreducible holonomy algebras $\g\subset\osp(p,q|2m)$ of Riemannian supermanifolds under the assumption that $\g$ is a direct sum of simple Lie superalgebras of classical type and possibly of a one-dimensional center are…
We define analytic $R$-groups for affine Hecke algebras, and prove the analog of the Knapp-Stein Dimension Theorem. As a corollary we prove that the commutant algebra of a unitary principal series representation is isomorphic to the complex…
We completely classify the atomic summands in a graph product $(M,\varphi) = *_{v \in \mathcal{G}} (M_v,\varphi_v)$ of von Neumann algebras with faithful normal states. Each type I factor summand $(N,\psi)$ is a tensor product of type I…
We develop a Helmholtz-like theorem for differential forms in Euclidean space $E_{n}$ using a uniqueness theorem similar to the one for vector fields. We then apply it to Riemannian manifolds, $R_{n}$, which, by virtue of the…
We show that the following operator algebras have hyperarithmetic theory: the hyperfinite II$_1$ factor $\mathcal R$, $L(\Gamma)$ for $\Gamma$ a finitely generated group with solvable word problem, $C^*(\Gamma)$ for $\Gamma$ a finitely…
This paper addresses a conjecture of Kadison and Kastler that a von Neumann algebra M on a Hilbert space H should be unitarily equivalent to each sufficiently close von Neumann algebra N and, moreover, the implementing unitary can be chosen…
