We prove that if C is a tensor C*-category in a certain class, then there exists an uncountable family of pairwise non stably isomorphic II_1 factors (M_i) such that the bimodule category of M_i is equivalent to C for all i. In particular,…

We consider AF-flows, i.e., one-parameter automorphism groups of a unital simple C*-algebra which leave invariant the dense union of an increasing sequence of finite-dimensional *-subalgebras, and derive two properties for these; an absence…

Let $E$ be a complete uniform topological algebra with Arens-Michael normed factors $\left(E_{\alpha}\right)_{\alpha\in\Lambda}.$ Then $M\left(E\right) \cong \varprojlim M\left(E_{\alpha}\right)$ within an algebra isomorphism $\varphi$. If…

We show that the topological full group of a Hausdorff ample groupoid with compact unit space coincides with the group of homotopy classes of invertible isometries in pseudofunction algebras associated with the groupoid. Moreover, if the…

Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional algebra over a field $F$ with char$(F)\ne 2$. We show that a linear map $D:A\to A$ satisfying $xD(x)x\in [A,A]$ for every $x\in A$ is the sum of an inner derivation and a linear map whose image lies in the…

Kastermans proved that consistently $\bigoplus_{\aleph_1} \mathbb{Z}_2$ has a cofinitary representation. We present a short proof that $\bigoplus_{\mathfrak{c}} \mathbb{Z}_2$ always has an arithmetic cofinitary representation. Further, for…

We show that an orientable 3-dimensional manifold M admits a complete riemannian metric of bounded geometry and uniformly pos- itive scalar curvature if and only if there exists a finite collection F of spherical space-forms such that M is…

We give in this paper a new construction of factors of type ${\rm III_1}$. Under certain assumptions, we can, thanks to a result by Popa, give a complete classification for this family of factors. Although these factors are never full, we…

We show that every effectively closed action of a finitely generated group $G$ on a closed subset of $\{0,1\}^{\mathbb{N}}$ can be obtained as a topological factor of the $G$-subaction of a $(G \times H_1 \times H_2)$-subshift of finite…

A crossed product functor is said to be injective if it takes injective morphisms to injective morphisms. In this paper we show that every locally compact group $G$ admits a maximal injective crossed product $A\mapsto A\rtimes_{\inj}G$.…

We prove a compactness theorem for full Boolean-valued models. As an application, we show that if $T$ is a complete countable theory and $\mathcal{B}$ is a complete Boolean algebra, then $\lambda^+$-saturated $\mathcal{B}$-valued models of…

We prove that for a stable theory $T,$ if $M$ is a saturated model of $T$ of cardinality $\lambda$ where $\lambda > \big|T\big|,$ then $Aut(M)$ has a dense free subgroup on $2^{\lambda}$ generators. This affirms a conjecture of Hodges.

We introduce pseudofinite W*-probability spaces. These are W*-probability spaces that are elementarily equivalent to Ocneanu ultraproducts of finite-dimensional von Neumann algebras equipped with arbitrary faithful normal states. We are…

Let ({\Sigma}, g) be a compact $C^2$ finslerian 3-manifold. If the geodesic flow of g is completely integrable, and the singular set is a tamely-embedded polyhedron, then ${\pi}_1({\Sigma})$ is almost polycyclic. On the other hand, if…

We show that ergodic flows in noncommutative fully symmetric spaces (associated with a semifinite von Neumann algebra) generated by continuous semigroups of positive Dunford-Schwartz operators and modulated by bounded Besicovitch almost…

In the context of Free Probability Theory, we study two different constructions that provide new examples of factors of type ${\rm II_1}$ with prescribed fundamental group. First we investigate state-preserving group actions on the almost…

We provide a fairly large class of II$_1$ factors $N$ such that $M=N\bar{\otimes}R$ has a unique McDuff decomposition, up to isomorphism, where $R$ denotes the hyperfinite II$_1$ factor. This class includes all II$_1$ factors…

The von Neumann algebra free product of arbitary finite dimensional von Neumann algebras with respect to arbitrary faithful states, at least one of which is not a trace, is found to be a type~III factor possibly direct sum a finite…

We show that any closed hyperbolic $3$-manifold $M$ has a co-final tower of covers $M_i \to M$ of degrees $n_i$ such that any subgroup of $\pi_1(M_i)$ generated by $k_i$ elements is free, where $k_i \ge n_i^C$ and $C = C(M) > 0$. Together…

Given a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold M with a quasigeodesic flow we construct a \pi_1-equivariant sphere-filling curve in the boundary of hyperbolic space. Specifically, we show that any complete transversal P to the lifted flow on H^3 has…
