Let M be a von Neumann algebra of type II_1 which is also a complemented subspace of B(H). We establish an algebraic criterion, which ensures that M is an injective von Neumann algebra. As a corollary we show that if M is a complemented…

A II$_1$ factor $M$ has the {\it stable single generation} ({\it SSG}) property if any amplification $M^t$, $t>0$, can be generated as a von Neumann algebra by a single element. We discuss a conjecture stating that if $M$ is SSG, then $M$…

We undertake a systematic study of W*-rigidity paradigms for the embeddability relation $\hookrightarrow$ between separable II$_1$ factors and its stable version $\hookrightarrow_s$, obtaining large families of non stably isomorphic II$_1$…

For a compact quantum group $\mathbb G$ of Kac type, we study the existence of a Haar trace-preserving embedding of the von Neumann algebra $L^\infty(\mathbb G)$ into an ultrapower of the hyperfinite II$_1$-factor (the Connes embedding…

In this paper we prove that whenever $G$ is hyperbolic relative to a family of exact, ressidually finite subgroups $\{H_1, \ldots, H_n\}$, the corresponding von Neumann algebra $\mathcal L(G)$ is solid relative to the family of subalgebras…

We obtain a spectral gap characterization of strongly ergodic equivalence relations on standard measure spaces. We use our spectral gap criterion to prove that a large class of skew-product equivalence relations arising from measurable…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable group and denote by $\Cal S$ the equivalence relation induced by the Bernoulli action $\Gamma\curvearrowright [0,1]^{\Gamma}$, where $[0,1]^{\Gamma}$ is endowed with the product Lebesgue measure. We prove that…

For a real number $r>0$, let $F(r)$ be the family of all stationary ergodic quantum sources with von Neumann entropy rates less than $r$. We prove that, for any $r>0$, there exists a blind, source-independent block compression scheme which…

We use continuous model theory to obtain several results concerning isomorphisms and embeddings between II_1 factors and their ultrapowers. Among other things, we show that for any II_1 factor M, there are continuum many nonisomorphic…

We give a sufficient condition for the ergodicity of the Lebesgue measure for an iterated function system of diffeomorphisms. This is done via the induced iterated function system on the space of continuum (which is called hyper-space). We…

We prove that, under the continuum hypothesis $\frak c=\aleph_1$, any ultraproduct II$_1$ factor $M= \prod_{\omega} M_n$ of separable finite factors $M_n$ contains more than $\frak c$ many mutually disjoint singular MASAs, in other words…

We prove that for some manifolds $M$ the set of robustly transitive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of $M$ with one-dimensional nonhyperbolic centre direction contains a $C^1$-open and dense subset of diffeomorphisms with nonhyperbolic…

We consider the system of $N$ ($\ge2$) elastically colliding hard balls of masses $m_1,...,m_N$ and radius $r$ in the flat unit torus $\Bbb T^\nu$, $\nu\ge2$. In the case $\nu=2$ we prove (the full hyperbolicity and) the ergodicity of such…

We proved that a conformal immersion of $M_0^{n_0}\times M_1^{n_1}$ as an hipersurface in a Euclidean space must be an extrinsic product of immersions, under the assumption that $n_0, n_1 \geq 2$ and that $M^{n_0}_0\times M^{n_1}_1$ is not…

In this article, we study local holomorphic isometric embeddings from ${\BB}^n$ into ${\BB}^{N_1}\times... \times{\BB}^{N_m}$ with respect to the normalized Bergman metrics up to conformal factors. Assume that each conformal factor is…

For every $n\in \mathbb{N}$ we obtain a separable II$_1$ factor $M$ and a maximally abelian subalgebra $A\subset M$ such that the space of maximally amenable extensions of $A$ in $M$ is affinely identified with the $n$ dimensional…

We prove that every separable tracial von Neumann algebra embeds into a II$_1$ factor with property (T) which can be taken to have trivial outer automorphism and fundamental groups. We also establish an analogous result for the trivial…

Let M be a factor of type III with separable predual and with normal states phi_1,...,phi_k, omega with omega faithful. Let A be a finite dimensional C*-subalgebra of M. Then it is shown that there is a unitary operator u in M such that…

Ge asked the question whether $LF_{\infty}$ can be embedded into $LF_2$ as a maximal subfactor. We answer it affirmatively by three different approaches, all containing the same key ingredient: the existence of maximal subgroups with…

We give sufficient conditions for a shift space $(\Sigma,\sigma)$ to be intrinsically ergodic, along with sufficient conditions for every subshift factor of $\Sigma$ to be intrinsically ergodic. As an application, we show that every…
