We prove that if a countable discrete group $\Gamma$ is {\it w-rigid}, i.e. it contains an infinite normal subgroup $H$ with the relative property (T) (e.g. $\Gamma= SL(2,\Bbb Z) \ltimes \Bbb Z^2$, or $\Gamma = H \times H'$ with $H$ an…

For any injective von Neumann algebra R and any discrete, countable group G, which acts by *-automorphisms on R, we construct an idempotent mapping of an ultra-weakly dense subspace of B(H) onto the reducerd crossed product von Neumann…

We derive a general relation between the background effective actions, which directly proves that the two formulations of the Einstein-Hilbert theory with background fields are equivalent at the quantum level. This basic result has been…

In this paper, we generalize to the context of algebras some recent results on the existence of common hypercyclic vectors for families of products of backward shift operators. We also give, in a multi-dimensional setting, a positive answer…

We prove that for many nonamenable groups \Gamma, including all hyperbolic groups and all nontrivial free products, the left-right wreath product group G := (Z/2Z)^(\Gamma) \rtimes (\Gamma \times \Gamma) is W*-superrigid. This means that…

Regular and higher regular graded algebras (in simplest case satisfying Von Neumann regularity $\Theta_{1}\Theta_{2}\Theta_{1}=\Theta_{1}$ instead of anticommutativity) are introduced and their properties are studied. They are described in…

Building on our previous work, we study the non-relative homology of quantum group convolution algebras. Our main result establishes the equivalence of amenability of a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ and 1-injectivity of…

We introduce a framework allowing for key aspects of deformation/rigidity theory to be used in the study of continuous model theory of II$_1$ factors. Using this framework, we solve several well-known open problems in the area. For example,…

We provide a generalization of Mundici's equivalence between unital Abelian lattice-ordered groups and MV-algebras: the category of unital commutative lattice-ordered groups is equivalent to the category of MV-monoidal algebras. Roughly…

Given a group G, we construct, in a canonical way, an inverse semigroup S(G) associated to G. The actions of S(G) are shown to be in one-to-one correspondence with the partial actions of G, both in the case of actions on a set, and that of…

Recently is has been proved that if $\sigma\in GL_n(R)$ where $R$ is an commutative ring and $n\geq 3$, then each of the elementary transvections $t_{kl}(\sigma_{ij})~(i\neq j,k\neq l)$ is a product of eight $E_n(R)$-conjugates of $\sigma$…

Given locally compact quantum groups $\G_1$ and $\G_2$, we show that if the convolution algebras $L^1(\G_1)$ and $L^1(\G_2)$ are isometrically isomorphic as algebras, then $\G_1$ is isomorphic either to $\G_2$ or the commutant $\G_2'$.…

We define $\Gamma_q(B,S \otimes H)$, the generalized $q$-gaussian von Neumann algebras associated to a sequence of symmetric independent copies $(\pi_j,B,A,D)$ and to a subset $1 \in S = S^* \subset A$ and, under certain assumptions, prove…

We give a survey of recent classification results for crossed product von Neumann algebras arising from measure preserving group actions on probability spaces. This includes II_1 factors with uncountable fundamental groups and the…

It is shown that the *-algebra of all (closed densely defined linear) operators affiliated with a finite type I von Neumann algebra admits a unique center-valued trace, which turns out to be, in a sense, normal. It is also demonstrated that…

We generalize a theorem of Chifan and Ioana by proving that for any, possibly type III, amenable von Neumann algebra $A_0$, any faithful normal state $\varphi_0$ and any discrete group $\Gamma$, the associated Bernoulli crossed product von…

Given a countable amenable group G and 0 < L < 1, we give an elementary construction of a type-III:L Bernoulli group action. In the case where G is the integers, we show that our nonsingular Bernoulli shifts have independent and identically…

A compatible $L_\infty$-algebra is a graded vector space together with two compatible $L_\infty$-algebra structures on it. Given a graded vector space, we construct a graded Lie algebra whose Maurer-Cartan elements are precisely compatible…

By normalizing the space of commuting pairs of elements in a reductive Lie group G, and the corresponding space for the Langlands dual group, we construct pairs of hyperkahler orbifolds which satisfy the conditions to be mirror partners in…

Let H(G) be the Hecke algebra of a reductive p-adic group G. We formulate a conjecture for the ideals in the Bernstein decomposition of H(G). The conjecture says that each ideal is geometrically equivalent to an algebraic variety. Our…
