Free independence is an important tool for studying the structure of operator algebras. It is natural to ask from the model-theoretic standpoint whether free independence is captured well in first-order model theory via the notion of a…

We prove that the normalizer of any diffuse amenable subalgebra of a free group factor $L(\Bbb F_r)$ generates an amenable von Neumann subalgebra. Moreover, any II$_1$ factor of the form $Q \vt L(\Bbb F_r) $, with $Q$ an arbitrary subfactor…

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 investigate Cartan subalgebras in nontracial amalgamated free product von Neumann algebras $M_1 \ast_B M_2$ over an amenable von Neumann subalgebra $B$. First, we settle the problem of the absence of Cartan subalgebra in arbitrary free…

In this paper, we exhibit strongly singular maximal abelian subalgebras living inside certain k-folded tensors of von Neumann group factors. The two classes of groups under consideration are the free groups of rank greater than 2 and the…

This paper establishes a necessary and sufficient condition for the coincidence of non-commutative $\log$-algebras constructed from different exact normal semifinite traces. Consequently, we provide a criterion for the isomorphism of…

A reduction formula for compressions of von Neumann algebras arising as free products is proved. This shows that the fundamental group is all of the positive reals for some such algebras. Additionally, by taking a sort of free product with…

The weak Jacobi forms of integral weight and integral index associated to an even positive definite lattice form a bigraded algebra. In this paper we prove a criterion for this type of algebra being free. As an application, we give an…

We study relatively free associative algebras $F^{(n)}_r$ of ranks $r=2,3$ with the identity $[x_1,\dots, x_n]=0$ of Lie nilpotency of step $n\geqslant 3$ over a field $K$ of characteristic $\neq 2,3$. First we prove a Theorem on the…

Any variety of classical algebras has a so-called conformal counterpart. For example one can consider Lie conformal or associative conformal algebras. Lie conformal algebras are closely related to vertex algebras. We define free objects in…

A free semigroupoid algebra is the closure of the algebra generated by a TCK family of a graph in the weak operator topology. We obtain a structure theory for these algebras analogous to that of free semigroup algebra. We clarify the role…

We prove an inequality between the free entropy and the mutual free Fisher information for two projections, regarded as a free analog of the logarithmic Sobolev inequality. The proof is based on the random matrix approximation procedure via…

Five-valued Nelson algebras are those satisfying the condition: $((x\to z)\to y)\to(((y \to x)\to y)\to y)=1$. We give alternative equations defining these algebras, and determine the structure and number of elements of the free five-valued…

We prove that for a countable discrete group $\Gamma$ containing a copy of the free group $\F_n$, for some $2\leq n\leq\infty$, as a normal subgroup, the equivalence relations of conjugacy, orbit equivalence and von Neumann equivalence of…

We prove that if $A$ is a non-separable abelian tracial von Neuman algebra then its free powers $A^{*n}, 2\leq n \leq \infty$, are mutually non-isomorphic and with trivial fundamental group, $\mathcal F(A^{*n})=1$, whenever $2\leq…

We first prove that a graded, connected, free and cofree Hopf algebra is always self-dual; then that two graded, connected, free and cofree Hopf algebras are isomorphic if, and only if, they have the same Poincar\'e-Hilbert formal series.…

We consider cones in a Hilbert space associated to two von Neumann algebras and determine when one algebra is included in the other. If a cone is assocated to a von Neumann algebra, the Jordan structure is naturally recovered from it and we…

We define a canonical relative commutant planar algebra from a strongly Markov inclusion of finite von Neumann algebras. In the case of a connected unital inclusion of finite dimensional C*-algebras with the Markov trace, we show this…

We study classes of countable graphs where every member does not contain a given finite graph as an induced subgraph -- denoted by $\mathsf{Free}(\mathcal{G})$ for a given finite graph $\mathcal{G}$. Our main results establish a structural…

As an instance of a linear action of a Hopf algebra on a free associative algebra, we consider finite group gradings of a free algebra induced by gradings on the space spanned by the free generators. The homogeneous component corresponding…
