Let $\mathcal{L}(H)$ be the $*$-algebra of all bounded operators on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space $H$ and let $(\mathcal{I}, \|\cdot\|_{\mathcal{I}})$ be an ideal in $\mathcal{L}(H)$ equipped with a Banach norm which is distinct…

In a very celebrated paper A. Connes has formulated a conjecture which is now one of the most important open problem in Operator Algebras. This importance comes from the works of many mathematicians who have found some unexpected equivalent…

We show that the class of 1-exact operator systems is not uniformly definable by a sequence of types. We use this fact to show that there is no finitary version of Arveson's extension theorem. Next, we show that WEP is equivalent to a…

An operator system modulo the kernel of a completely positive linear map of the operator system gives rise to an operator system quotient. In this paper, operator system quotients and quotient maps of certain matrix algebras are considered.…

In this paper, we show how a construction of an implicit complexity model can be implemented using concepts coming from the core of von Neumann algebras. Namely, our aim is to gain an understanding of classical computation in terms of the…

One way of suggesting that an NP problem may not be NP-complete is to show that it is in the class UP. We suggest an analogous new approach---weaker in strength of evidence but more broadly applicable---to suggesting that concrete~NP…

In this paper, we employ quotients of Roe algebras as index containers for elliptic differential operators to study the existence problem of Riemannian metrics with positive scalar curvature on non-compact complete Riemannian manifolds. The…

In this paper we want to apply the notion of product between ultrafilters to answer several questions which arise around the Connes' embedding problem. For instance, we will give a simplification and generalization of a theorem by…

We introduce complex cones and associated projective gauges, generalizing a real Birkhoff cone and its Hilbert metric to complex vector spaces. We deduce a variety of spectral gap theorems in complex Banach spaces. We prove a dominated…

We consider the problem of extrapolating the perturbation series for the dilute Fermi gas in three dimensions to the unitary limit of infinite scattering length and into the BEC region, using the available strong-coupling information to…

The von Neumann entropy plays a vital role in quantum information theory. The von Neumann entropy determines, e.g., the capacities of quantum channels. Also, entropies of composite quantum systems are important for future quantum networks,…

Various subsets of the tracial state space of a unital C*-algebra are studied. The largest of these subsets has a natural interpretation as the space of invariant means. II_1-factor representations of a class of C*-algebras considered by…

We provide a complete characterization of theories of tracial von Neumann algebras that admit quantifier elimination. We also show that the theory of a separable tracial von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{N}$ is never model complete if its…

In this note, we derive some consequences of the von Neumann algebra uniqueness theorems developed in a previous paper (see arXiv:1207.6741v1). In particular, 1) we solvein a paper of Futamura, Kataoka, and Kishimoto, by proving that if A…

We study conjugacy orbits of certain types of subalgebras in tracial von Neumann algebras. For any separable II$_1$ factor $N_0$ we construct a highly indecomposable non Gamma II$_1$ factor $N$ such that $N_0 \subset N$ and moreover every…

We construct the first example of a $C^*$-algebra $A$ with the properties in the title. This gives a new example of non-nuclear $A$ for which there is a unique $C^*$-norm on $A \otimes A^{op}$. This example is of particular interest in…

In part I we reduced the arithmetic (characteristic zero) version of the P \not \subseteq NP conjecture to the problem of showing that a variety associated with the complexity class NP cannot be embedded in the variety associated the…

We consider the embedding theory, the approach to gravity proposed by Regge and Teitelboim, in which 4D space-time is treated as a surface in high-dimensional flat ambient space. In its general form, which does not contain artificially…

Let $C$ be a smooth irreducible affine curve $C$ over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic and let $\pi_1(C)$ be its fundamental group. We study various embedding problems for $\pi_1(C)$ and its subgroups.

Any algebra herein is intended over a field of characteristic 0. Let $E$ denote the infinite dimensional Grassman algebra. Given a power associative finite dimensional {$\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded-central-simple} $A$ and a supertrace algebra $B$,…
