Given a pair of dynamical systems we consider a pair of commuting von Neumann factors of type 11_1. The construction is a generalization of classical von Neumann-Murrey and grouppoid construction. It gives a natural examples of factors with…

We prove that any II$_1$ factor $L^{\infty}(X)\rtimes\Gamma$ arising from a compact, free, ergodic, probability measure preserving action of a countable group $\Gamma$ with positive first $\ell^2$-Betti number, has a unique group measure…

Using Baire category techniques we prove that Araki-Woods factors are not classifiable by countable structures. As a result, we obtain a far reaching strengthening as well as a new proof of the well-known theorem of Woods that the…

It is shown that, given any finite dimensional, split basic algebra $\Lambda = K\Gamma/I$ (where $\Gamma$ is a quiver and $I$ an admissible ideal in the path algebra $K \Gamma$), there is a finite list of affine algebraic varieties, the…

Bicommutant categories are higher categorical analogs of von Neumann algebras that were recently introduced by the first author. In this article, we prove that every unitary fusion category gives an example of a bicommutant category. This…

We give the definition of an invariant random positive definite function on a discrete group, generalizing both the notion of an invariant random subgroup and a character. We use von Neumann algebras to show that all invariant random…

Let $\gamma$ be a filling curve on a topological surface $\Sigma$ of genus $g \geq 2$. The inf invariant of $\gamma$, denoted $m_{\gamma}$, is the infimum of the length function on the space of marked hyperbolic structures on $\Sigma$. This…

We introduce the notion of proper proximality for finite von Neumann algebras, which naturally extends the notion of proper proximality for groups. Apart from the group von Neumann algebras of properly proximal groups, we provide a number…

Suppose F is a finite set of selfadjoint elements in a tracial von Neumann algebra M. For $\alpha >0$, F is $\alpha$-bounded if the free packing $\alpha$-entropy of F is bounded from above. We say that M is strongly 1-bounded if M has a…

Given a $\mathbb Z^r$-action $\alpha$ on a nilmanifold $X$ by automorphisms and an ergodic $\alpha$-invariant probability measure $\mu$, we show that $\mu$ is the uniform measure on $X$, unless modulo finite index modification, one of the…

We study Measurable Imbeddability between groups, which is an order-like generalization of Measure Equivalence that allows the imbedded group to have an infinite measure fundamental domain. We prove if $\Lambda_1$ measurably imbeds into…

We study the von Neumann algebra, generated by the regular representations of the infinite-dimensional nilpotent group $B_0^{\mathbb Z}$. In [14] a condition have been found on the measure for the right von Neumann algebra to be the…

In this short note, we construct an exotic example of a locally compact group $G$ with a Borel $2$-cocycle $\omega$ such that the non-twisted group von Neumann algebra $L(G)$ is a factor, while the twisted group von Neumann algebra…

We show that the unitary group of any SOT-separable $\mathrm{II}_1$ factor $M$, with the strong operator topology, is contractible. Combined with several old results, this implies that the same is true for any SOT-separable von Neumann…

We associate a cohomological invariant to each outer action of a group on a factor, and classify them by the invariant in the case that the group is a countable discrete amenable group and the factor is appoximately finite dimensional. The…

In the first section we discuss Morita invariance of differentiable/algebroid cohomology. In the second section we present an extension of the van Est isomorphism to groupoids. This immediately implies a version of Haefliger's conjecture…

We present a new algorithm to decide isomorphism between finite graded algebras. For a broad class of nilpotent Lie algebras, we demonstrate that it runs in time polynomial in the order of the input algebras. We introduce heuristics that…

Let $M$ be a finite von Neumann algebra with the Haagerup property, and let $G$ be a compact group that acts continuously on $M$ and that preserves some finite trace $\tau$. We prove that if $\Gamma$ is a countable subgroup of $G$ which has…

The paper is devoted to classification problem of finite dimensional complex none Lie filiform Leibniz algebras. The motivation to write this paper is an unpublished yet result of J.R.Gomez, B.A.Omirov on necessary and sufficient conditions…

Let $\Fth$ be a 2 graph generated by $m$ blue edges and $n$ red edges, and $\omega$ be the distinguished faithful state associated with its graph C*-algebra $\O_\theta$. In this paper, we characterize the factorness of the von Neumann…
