Suppose $M$ is a tracial von Neumann algebra embeddable into $\mathcal R^{\omega}$ (the ultraproduct of the hyperfinite $II_1$-factor) and $X$ is an $n$-tuple of selfadjoint generators for $M$. Denote by $\Gamma(X;m,k,\gamma)$ the…

An inclusion of von Neumann factors $M \subset \Cal M$ is {\it ergodic} if it satisfies the irreducibility condition $M'\cap \Cal M=\Bbb C$. We investigate the relation between this and several stronger ergodicity properties, such as…

We study criteria for a ring - or more generally, for a small category - to be Gorenstein and for a module over it to be of finite projective dimension. The goal is to unify the universal coefficient theorems found in the literature and to…

Let M be a connected compact pseudoRiemannian manifold acted upon topologically transitively and isometrically by a connected noncompact simple Lie group G. If m_0, n_0 are the dimensions of the maximal lightlike subspaces tangent to M and…

Let $\mathfrak A$ be a type 1 subdiagonal algebra in a $\sigma$-finite von Neumann algebra $\mathcal M$ with respect to a faithful normal conditional expectation $\Phi$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for which $\mathfrak A$ is…

A singular riemannian foliation F on a complete riemannian manifold M is said to admit sections if each regular point of M is contained in a complete totally geodesic immersed submanifold (a section) that meets every leaf of F orthogonally…

In this article, we proved the following results. Let $L(F(n_i))$ be the free group factor on $n_i$ generators and $\lambda (g_{i})$ be one of standard generators of $L(F(n_i))$ for $1\le i\le N$. Let $\A_i$ be the abelian von Neumann…

We show that if G is a discrete group which does not have the Haagerup property but does have an unbounded cocycle into a C_0 representation and if G acts on a finite von Neumann algebra B such that the inclusion B \subset (B \rtimes G) has…

We investigate factoriality, Connes' type ${\rm III}$ invariants and fullness of arbitrary amalgamated free product von Neumann algebras using Popa's deformation/rigidity theory. Among other things, we generalize many previous structural…

We study observables on monotone $\sigma$-complete effect algebras. We find conditions when a spectral resolution implies existence of the corresponding observable. The set of sharp elements of a monotone $\sigma$-complete homogeneous…

We canonically associate to any planar algebra two type II_{\infty} factors M_{+} and M_{-}. The subfactors constructed previously by the authors in a previous paper are isomorphic to compressions of M_{+} and M_{-} to finite projections.…

We prove a basic result about tensor products of a $\text{II}_1$ factor with a finite von Neumann algebra and use it to answer, affirmatively, a question asked by S. Popa about maximal injective factors.

For a normal measurable operator $a$ affiliated with a von Neumann factor $\mathcal{M}$ we show: If $\mathcal{M}$ is infinite, then there is $\lambda_0\in \mathbb{C}$ so that for $\varepsilon>0$ there are…

In this paper we study conditions under which, for an inclusion of finite von Neumann algebras $N \subseteq M$, we have the reduced amalgamated free product $\ast_N M$ is embeddable into $(R \bar{\otimes} N_1)^\omega$ for some other finite…

We show that for every countable recursively saturated model $M$ of Peano Arithmetic and every subset $A \subseteq M$, there exists a full satisfaction class $S_A \subset M^2$ such that $A$ is definable in $(M,S_A)$ without parametres. It…

It is a wide open problem to give an intrinsic criterion for a II_1 factor $M$ to admit a Cartan subalgebra $A$. When $A \subset M$ is a Cartan subalgebra, the $A$-bimodule $L^2(M)$ is "simple" in the sense that the left and right action of…

We prove a modified version for a conjecture of Weiss from 2004. Let $G$ be a semisimple real algebraic group defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, $\Gamma$ be an arithmetic subgroup of $G$. A trajectory in $G/\Gamma$ is divergent if eventually it…

We give a positive answer, in the measurable-group-theory context, to von Neumann's problem of knowing whether a non-amenable countable discrete group contains a non-cyclic free subgroup. We also get an embedding result of the free-group…

An associative $*$-algebra is introduced (containing a $TTR$-algebra as a subalgebra) that implements the form factor axioms, and hence indirectly the Wightman axioms, in the following sense: Each $T$-invariant linear functional over the…

In 1972 K.I.Tahara [7,2 Theorem 2.2.5], using cohomological method, showed that if a finite group $G=T\rhd<N$ is the semidirect product of a normal subgroup $N$ and a subgroup $T$, then $M(T)$ is a direct factor of $M(G)$, where $M(G)$ is…
