We consider the notion of strong self-absorption for continuous actions of locally compact groups on the hyperfinite II$_1$-factor and characterize when such an action is tensorially absorbed by another given action on any separably acting…

We show that under favorable circumstances, one can construct an intersection product on the Chow groups of a tensor triangulated category $\mathcal{T}$ (as defined by Balmer) which generalizes the usual intersection product on a…

Results of Haagerup and Schultz (2009) about existence of invariant subspaces that decompose the Brown measure are extended to a large class of unbounded operators affiliated to a tracial von Neumann algebra. These subspaces are used to…

We develop a new criterion to tell if a group $G$ has the maximal gap of $1/2$ in stable commutator length (scl). For amalgamated free products $G = A \star_C B$ we show that every element $g$ in the commutator subgroup of $G$ which does…

A characterization of the split property for an inclusion $N\subset M$ of $W^*$-factors with separable predual is established in terms of the canonical non-commutative $L^2$ embedding considered in \cite{B1,B2} $$ \F_2:a\in N\to…

We prove that every positive trace on a countably generated *-algebra can be approximated by positive traces on algebras of generic matrices. This implies that every countably generated tracial *-algebra can be embedded into a metric…

We axiomatize in (first order finitary) continuous logic for metric structures $\sigma$-finite $W^*$-probability spaces and preduals of von Neumann algebras jointly with a weak-* dense $C^*$-algebra of its dual. This corresponds to the…

Let $(G,\pmb{+})$ be any given semimodule over a discrete semiring $(R,+,\cdot)$ with a finite coloring, say $G=B_1\cup\dotsm\cup B_q$. By establishing a Regional Multiple Recurrence Theorem for semimodules, we prove that one of the colors…

We study tensor structures on (Rep G)-module categories defined by actions of a compact quantum group G on unital C*-algebras. We show that having a tensor product which defines the module structure is equivalent to enriching the action of…

We show that the cohomological invariant $r^\sharp$, introduced in [1] as a lower bound for the off-diagonal holonomy dimension of metric connections with totally skew torsion on product manifolds, predicts the behaviour of the torsion…

We introduce and study the definition, main properties and applications of iterated twisted tensor products of algebras, motivated by the problem of defining a suitable representative for the product of spaces in noncommutative geometry. We…

We consider an action of the circle group, T on a von Neumann algebra, M. Similarly to the case when the algebra of essentially bounded functions on T is acted upon by translations, we define the generalized Hardy subspace of H,where H is…

We show that, for many choices of finite tuples of generators $X = (x_1, \dots , x_d)$ of a tracial von Neumann algebra $(M, \tau)$ satisfying certain decomposition properties (non-primeness, possessing a Cartan subalgebra, or property…

Let M_i be a von Neumann algebra, and B_i be a maximal injective von Neumann subalgebra of M_i, i=1,2. If M_1 has separable predual and the center of B_1 is atomic, e.g., B_1 is a factor, then B_1\tensor B_2 is a maximal injective von…

Given a C*-algebra A with a semicontinuous semifinite trace tau acting on the Hilbert space H, we define the family R of bounded Riemann measurable elements w.r.t. tau as a suitable closure, a la Dedekind, of A, in analogy with one of the…

We construct the noncommutative Poisson boundaries of tracial von Neumann algebras through the ultraproducts of von Neumann algebras. As an application of this result, we complete the proof of Kaimanovich-Vershik's fundamental theorems…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $2$, $G$ be the algebraic group $\mathrm{SL}_2$ over $K$, and $V$ be the natural representation of $G$. Let $b_k^{G,V}$ denote the number of $G$-indecomposable factors of…

We establish a version of Kn\"{o}rrer's Periodicity Theorem in the context of noncommutative invariant theory. Namely, let $A$ be a left noetherian AS-regular algebra, let $f$ be a normal and regular element of $A$ of positive degree, and…

Discrete subfactors include a particular class of infinite index subfactors and all finite index ones. A discrete subfactor is called local when it is braided and it fulfills a commutativity condition motivated by the study of inclusion of…

We study the tensor-triangular geometry of the category of rational $G$-spectra for a compact Lie group $G$. In particular, we prove that this category can be naturally decomposed into local factors supported on individual subgroups, each…
