We completely characterize real Bott manifolds up to affine diffeomorphism in terms of three simple matrix operations on square binary matrices obtained from strictly upper triangular matrices by permuting rows and columns simultaneously.…

Given a Riemannian space $N$ of dimension $n$ and a field $D$ of symmetric endomorphisms on $N$, we define the extension $M$ of $N$ by $D$ to be the Riemannian manifold of dimension $n+1$ obtained from $N$ by a construction similar to…

We show that any finite dimensional von Neumann algebra admits an orthonormal unitary basis with respect to its standard trace. We also show that a finite dimensional von Neumann subalgebra of $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ admits an orthonormal unitary…

We consider a paving property for a maximal abelian *-subalgebra (MASA) $A$ in a von Neumann algebra $M$, that we call so-paving, involving approximation in the so-topology, rather than in norm (as in classical Kadison-Singer paving). If…

Given a finite, directed, connected graph $\Gamma$ equipped with a weighting $\mu$ on its edges, we provide a construction of a von Neumann algebra equipped with a faithful, normal, positive linear functional…

Let $\mathfrak{M}(\mathbb{D}, m, n, P)$ be the ring of all $m \times n$ matrices over a division ring $\mathbb{D}$, with the product given by $A \bullet B=A P B$, where $P$ is a fixed $n \times m$ matrix over $\mathbb{D}$. When $2\leq m, n…

We discuss an interesting duality known to occur for certain complex reflection groups, namely the duality groups. Our main construction yields a concrete, representation theoretic realisation of this duality. This allows us to naturally…

The single-trace, infinite-N algebra of an arbitrary region may or may not be a von Neumann algebra depending on the GNS sector. In this paper we identify the holographic dual of this mechanism as a consequence of the focusing of null…

In 2005, Shen introduced a new invariant, $\mathcal G(N)$, of a diffuse von Neumann algebra $N$ with a fixed faithful trace, and he used this invariant to give a unified approach to showing that large classes of ${\mathrm{II}}_1$ factors…

In this work we attempt to generalize our result in [6] [7] for real rings (not just von Neumann regular real rings). In other words we attempt to characterize and construct real closure * of commutative unitary rings that are real. We also…

We prove that the stable endomorphism rings of rigid objects in a suitable Frobenius category have only finitely many basic algebras in their derived equivalence class and that these are precisely the stable endomorphism rings of objects…

We provide a complete characterization of theories of tracial von Neumann algebras that admit quantifier elimination. We also show that the theory of a separable tracial von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{N}$ is never model complete if its…

A certain class of matrix-valued Borel matrix functions is introduced and it is shown that all functions of that class naturally operate on any operator T in a finite type I von Neumann algebra M in a way such that uniformly bounded…

We use the language of von Neumann subfactors to investigate non-invertible symmetries in two dimensions. A fusion categorical symmetry $\mathcal{C}$, its module category $\mathcal{M}$, and a gauging labeled by an algebra object…

Consider a $n\times n$ sparse non-Hermitian random matrix $X_n$ defined as the Hadamard product between a random matrix with centered independent and identically distributed entries and a sparse Bernoulli matrix with success probability…

In this paper, we prove a version of Freyd's generating hypothesis for triangulated categories: if D is a cocomplete triangulated category and S is an object in D whose endomorphism ring is graded commutative and concentrated in degree…

This paper investigates factorial $W^*$-bundles and their ultraproducts. More precisely, a $W^*$-bundle is factorial if the von Neumann algebras associated to its fibers are all factors. Let $M$ be the tracial ultraproduct of a family of…

In these lectures we explain the intimate relationship between modular invariants in conformal field theory and braided subfactors in operator algebras. A subfactor with a braiding determines a matrix $Z$ which is obtained as a coupling…

We study a Schwarz-Pick type inequality for the Schur-Agler class $SA(B_{\delta})$. In our operator theoretical approach, von Neumann's inequality for a class of generic tuples of $2\times 2$ matrices plays an important role rather than…

We show that a non-relativistic particle in a combined field of a magnetic monopole and 1/r^2 potential reveals a hidden, partially free dynamics when the strength of the central potential and the charge-monopole coupling constant are…
