Using the methods of Ozawa [4] and Runde [5], we show that a type I von Neumann algebra is approximately amenable if and only if it is amenable.

For every $c\geq 1$, we define a strengthening of Kazhdan's Property (T) by considering uniformly bounded representations $\pi$ with fixed bound $|\pi|\leq c$. We carry out a systematic study of this property and show that it can be…

In the 1970s Alain Connes identified the appropriate notion of amenabilty for von Neumann algebras, and used it to obtain a deep internal finite dimensional approximation structure for these algebras. This structure is exactly what is…

In this paper we present a fixed point property for amenable hypergroups which is analogous to Rickert's fixed point theorem for semigroups. It equates the existence of a left invariant mean on the space of weakly right uniformly continuous…

We resolve key open questions regarding approximation properties and their permanence for Fell bundles over locally compact groups. Specifically, we establish the equivalence between the B\'edos--Conti approximation property (BCAP) and the…

We consider the following three properties for countable discrete groups $\Gamma$: (1) $\Gamma$ has an infinite subgroup with relative property (T), (2) the group von Neumann algebra $L\Gamma$ has a diffuse von Neumann subalgebra with…

We extend the classical van der Corput inequality to the real line. As a consequence, we obtain a simple proof of the Wiener-Wintner theorem for the $\mathbb{R}$-action which assert that for any family of maps $(T_t)_{t \in \mathbb{R}}$…

We define a new approximation property for tracial von Neumann algebras, called \textit{weakly mixing approximation property} which, for discrete groups and II$_1$ factors, is equivalent to the negation of Kazhdan's property (T).

We consider three von Neumann entropy inequalities: subadditivity; Pinsker's inequality for relative entropy; and the monotonicity of relative entropy. For these we state conditions for equality, and we prove some new error bounds away from…

The weak-value (WV) measurement proposed by Aharonov, Albert and Vaidman (AAV) has attracted a great deal of interest in connection with quantum metrology. In this work, we extend the analysis beyond the AAV limit and obtain a few main…

A new class of groups, the locally finitely determined groups of local similarities on compact ultrametric spaces, is introduced and it is proved that groups in this class have the Haagerup property (that is, they are a-T-menable in the…

We propose a generalization of the quantum entropy introduced by Wigner and von Neumann in 1929 [Zeitschrift f\"ur Physik 57, 30 (1929)]. Our generalization is applicable to both quantum pure states and mixed states. When the dimension $N$…

With the help of von Neumann entropy, we study numerically the localization properties of two interacting particles (TIP) with on-site interactions in one-dimensional disordered, quasiperiodic, and slowly varying potential systems,…

The goals of this paper are twofold. First, we generalize the result of Gaboriau and Lyons [GL07] to the setting of von Neumann's problem for equivalence relations, proving that for any non-amenable ergodic probability measure preserving…

Let $G$ be $S_{\mathbb{N}}$, the finitary permutation (i.e. permutations with finite support) group on positive integers $\mathbb{N}$. We prove that $G$ has the invariant von Neumann subalgebras rigidity (ISR, for short) property as…

We show that the homogeneous approximation property and the comparison theorem hold for arbitrary coherent frames. This observation answers some questions about the density of frames that are not covered by the theory of Balan, Casazza,…

Hyperfiniteness or amenability of measurable equivalence relations and group actions has been studied for almost fifty years. Recently, unexpected applications of hyperfiniteness were found in computer science in the context of testability…

Von Neumann entropy (VNE) is a fundamental quantity in quantum information theory and has recently been adopted in machine learning as a spectral measure of diversity for kernel matrices and kernel covariance operators. While maximizing VNE…
