We introduce a modification of Voiculescu's free entropy which coincides with the liminf variant of Voiculescu's free entropy on extremal states, but is a concave upper semi-continuous function on the trace state space. We also extend the…

In this note we show that there exist a $2^\mathfrak{c}$-generated free algebra $\mathcal{S} \subset \mathbb{R}^\mathbb{R}$ of Riemann integrable functions and a free algebra $\mathcal{C} \subset \mathbb{R}^{[0,1]}$ of continuous functions,…

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…

In this paper we examine bases for finite index inclusion of $II_1$ factors and connected inclusion of finite dimensional $C^*$- algebras. These bases behave nicely with respect to basic construction towers. As applications we have studied…

We introduce notation Q(1) * ... * Q(n) * L(F_r)$ for von Neumann algebra II_1 factors where $r$ is allowed to be negative. This notation is defined by rescalings of free products of II_1 factors, and is proved to be consistent with known…

We study a model of fully-packed dimer configurations (or perfect matchings) on a bipartite periodic graph that is two-dimensional but not planar. The graph is obtained from $\mathbb Z^2$ via the addition of an extensive number of extra…

We completely classify type III factor representations of Cuntz-Krieger algebras associated with quasi-free states up to unitary equivalence. Furthermore, we realize these representations on concrete Hilbert spaces without using GNS…

We show that a real finite-dimensional unital associative algebra is naturally associated with a vector space of pseudo-Finsler norms whose members are linked to the algebra's space of normalized trace forms through an integral transform.…

We give a complete answer to the questions of factoriality, type classification and fullness for arbitrary free product von Neumann algebras.

We study a generalization of free Poisson random measure by replacing the intensity measure with a n.s.f. weight $\varphi$ on a von Neumann algebra $M$. We give an explicit construction of the free Poisson random weight using full Fock…

Let $I$ be any nonempty set and $(M_i, \varphi_i)_{i \in I}$ any family of nonamenable factors, endowed with arbitrary faithful normal states, that belong to a large class $\mathcal C_{\rm anti-free}$ of (possibly type III) von Neumann…

We study the structure of weakly-closed nonself-adjoint algebras arising from representations of single vertex 2-graphs. These are the algebras generated by 2 isometric tuples which satisfy a certain commutation relation. We show that these…

We introduce a notion of planar algebra, the simplest example of which is a vector space of tensors, closed under planar contractions. A planar algebra with suitable positivity properties produces a finite index subfactor of a II_1 factor,…

We consider crossed product von Neumann algebras arising from free Bogoljubov actions of the integers. We describe several presentations of them as amalgamated free products and cocycle crossed products and give a criterion for…

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the structure of Shlyakhtenko's free Araki-Woods factors using the framework of ultraproduct von Neumann algebras. We first prove that all the free Araki-Woods factors $\Gamma(H_{\mathbb R},…

A chain complex model for the free loop space of a connected, closed and oriented manifold is presented, and on its homology, the Gerstenhaber and Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra structures are defined and identified with the string topology…

A distance between von Neumann algebras is introduced, depending on a further norm inducing the $w^*$-topology on bounded sets. Such notion is related both with the Gromov-Hausdorff distance for quantum metric spaces of Rieffel and with the…

A finite Grobner-Shirshov basis is constructed for the plactic algebra of rank 3 over a field K. It is also shown that plactic algebras of rank exceeding 3 do not have finite Grobner-Shirshov bases associated to the natural…

Based on the intrinsic connection between Gaussian Free Fields and the Heisenberg vertex algebra, we study some aspects of the correspondence between probability theory and $W$-algebras. This is first achieved by providing a construction of…

We study factorization and dilation properties of Markov maps between von Neumann algebras equipped with normal faithful states, i.e., completely positive unital maps which preserve the given states and also intertwine their automorphism…
