We give a short and simple proof, utilizing the pre-determinant of P. de la Harpe and G. Skandalis, that the universal covering group of the unitary group of a II$_1$ von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$, when equipped with the norm topology,…

As part of the study of correspondence functors, the present paper investigates their tensor product and proves some of its main properties. In particular, the correspondence functor associated to a finite lattice has the structure of a…

For $\MvN$ a separable, purely infinite von Neumann algebra with almost periodic weight $\phi$, a decomposition of $\MvN$ as a crossed product of a semifinite von Neumann algebra by a trace--scaling action of a countable abelian group is…

Reduced HNN extensions of von Neumann algebras (as well as $C^*$-algebras) will be introduced, and their modular theory, factoriality and ultraproducts will be discussed. In several concrete settings, detailed analysis on them will be also…

In this paper we obtain the orthogonality relations for the supergroup U(m|n), which are remarkably different from the ones for the U(N) case. We extend our results for ordinary representations, obtained some time ago, to the case of…

We prove a non-commutative version of the Hilbert's 17th problem, giving a characterization of the class of non-commutative polynomials in n-undeterminates that have positive trace when evaluated in n-selfadjoint elements in arbitrary II1…

It has recently been proved that the category of N-manifolds of degree $n$, that is, $\mathbb N$-graded supermanifolds of degree $n$ for which the parity agrees with the gradation, is equivalent to the category of purely even $n$-tuple…

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…

We consider the intersection $\mathfrak{M}(A)$ of all maximal ideals of an evolution algebra $A$ and study the structure of the quotient $A/\M(A)$. In a previous work, maximal ideals have been related to hereditary subsets of a graph…

We construct natural representations of the Connes-Kreimer Lie algebras on rooted trees/Feynman graphs arising from Hecke correspondences in the categories $\LRF, \LFG$ constructed by K. Kremnizer and the author. We thus obtain the…

In this paper we explore a relationship between the topology of the complex hyperplane complements $\mathcal{M}_{BC_n} (\mathbb{C})$ in type B/C and the combinatorics of certain spaces of degree-$n$ polynomials over a finite field…

We show that for any two von Neumann algebras $M$ and $N$, the space of non-unital normal homomorphisms $N\to M$ with finite support, modulo conjugation by unitaries in $M$, is Dedekind complete with respect to the partial order coming from…

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…

For a division ring $D$, denote by $\mathcal M_D$ the $D$-ring obtained as the completion of the direct limit $\varinjlim_n M_{2^n}(D)$ with respect to the metric induced by its unique rank function. We prove that, for any ultramatricial…

Several techniques together with some partial answers are given to the questions of factoriality, type classification and fullness for amalgamated free product von Neumann algebras.

Let $\M$ be a von Neumann algebra acting on a Hilbert space $\H$, and $\N$ be a singular von Neumann subalgebra of $\M.$ If $\N\tensor\B(\K)$ is singular in $\M\tensor\B(\K)$ for any Hilbert space $\K$, we say $\N$ is \emph{completely…

We introduce a new class of groups called wreath-like products. These groups are close relatives of the classical wreath products and arise naturally in the context of group theoretic Dehn filling. Unlike ordinary wreath products, many…

We prove a general criterion for a von Neumann algebra $M$ in order to be in standard form. It is formulated in terms of an everywhere defined, invertible, antilinear, a priori not necessarily bounded operator, intertwining $M$ with its…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a type II$_1$ von Neumann factor and let $S(\mathcal{M})$ be the associated Murray-von Neumann algebra of all measurable operators affiliated to $\mathcal{M}.$ We extend a result of Kadison and Liu \cite{KL} by showing…

Let $I$ be a non-empty set and $\mathcal{D}$ an ultrafilter over $I$. For similar algebraic structures $B_i$, $i\in I$ let $\Pi (B_i|i\in I)$ and $\Pi _{\mathcal{D}}(B_i|i\in I)$ denote the direct product and the ultraproduct of $B_i$,…
