We prove that, if a discrete group $G$ is not inner amenable, then the unit group of the ring of operators affiliated with the group von Neumann algebra of $G$ is non-amenable with respect to the topology generated by its rank metric. This…

Around 1967, Arveson invented a striking noncommutative generalization of classical $H^\infty$, known as {\em subdiagonal algebras}, which include a wide array of examples of interest to operator theorists. Their theory extends that of the…

An essential quantity in quantum information theory is the von Neumann entropy which depends entirely on the quantum density operator. Once known, the density operator reveals the statistics of observables in a quantum process, and the…

Trace inequalities are general techniques with many applications in quantum information theory, often replacing classical functional calculus in noncommutative settings. The physics of quantum field theory and holography, however, motivate…

We obtain a characterization of property (T) for von Neumann algebras in terms of 1-cohomology similar to the Delorme-Guichardet Theorem for groups.

The notion of strong 1-boundedness for finite von Neumann algebras was introduced by Jung in arXiv:math/0510576 . This framework provided a free probabilistic approach to study rigidity properties and classification of finite von Neumann…

Let $(W,H,\mu)$ be the classical Wiener space, assume that $U=I_W+u$ is an adapted perturbation of identity where the perturbation $u$ is an equivalence class w.r.to the Wiener measure. We study several necessary and sufficient conditions…

Basic properties of von Neumann entropy such as the triangle inequality and what we call MONO-SSA are studied for CAR systems. We show that both inequalities hold for any even state. We construct a certain class of noneven states giving…

We approach the study of sub-von Neumann algebras of the group von Neumann algebra $L\Gamma$ for countable groups $\Gamma$ from a dynamical perspective. It is shown that $L(\Gamma)$ admits a maximal invariant amenable subalgebra. The notion…

We introduce a notion of Gieseker stability for a filtered holomorphic vector bundle $F$ over a projective manifold. We relate it to an analytic condition in terms of hermitian metrics on $F$ coming from a construction of the Geometric…

In the Aharonov-Albert-Vaidman (AAV) weak measurement, it is assumed that the measuring device or the pointer is in a quantum mechanical pure state. In reality, however, it is often not the case. In this paper, we generalize the AAV weak…

In the standard von Neumann interaction used in Quantum measurements, the chosen observable to which the environment (apparatus) entangles is exactly reproduced in the state of the environment, thereby decohering the quantum system in the…

We consider the analogues of the Horn inequalities in finite von Neumann algebras, which concern the possible spectral distributions of sums $a+b$ of self--adjoint elements $a$ and $b$ in a finite von Neumann algebra. It is an open question…

In this paper, we introduce a weak form of amenability on topological semigroups that we call $\varphi$-amenability, where $\varphi$ is a character on a topological semigroup. Some basic properties of this new notion are obtained and by…

It is shown that a locally compact second countable group $G$ has the Haagerup property if and only if there exists a sharply weak mixing 0-type measure preserving free $G$-action $T=(T_g)_{g\in G}$ on an infinite $\sigma$-finite standard…

Conventional wisdom holds that the von Neumann entropy corresponds to thermodynamic entropy, but Hemmo and Shenker (2006) have recently argued against this view by attacking von Neumann (1955) and his argument. I argue that Hemmo and…

We establish a one to one correspondence between idempotent states on a locally compact quantum group G and integrable coideals in the von Neumann algebra of bounded measurable functions on G that are preserved by the scaling group. In…

Beyond the locally compact case, equivalent notions of amenability diverge, and some properties no longer hold, for instance amenability is not inherited by topological subgroups. This investigation is guided by some amenability-type…

The concept of (stable) weak containment for measure-preserving actions of a countable group $\Gamma$ is analogous to the classical notion of (stable) weak containment of unitary representations. If $\Gamma$ is amenable then the Rokhlin…

This paper is devoted to the numerical analysis of the Hermite spectral method proposed in [14], which provides, in the semiclassical limit, an asymptotic preserving approximation of the von Neumann equation. More precisely, it relies on…
