The Cauchy problem for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation is called unconditionally well posed in a data space $E$ if it is well posed in the usual sense and the solution is unique in the space $C([0,T]; E)$. In this paper, this notion of…
We prove that if a separable II$_1$ factor $M$ is existentially closed, then every $M$-bimodule is weakly contained in the trivial $M$-bimodule, $\text{L}^2(M)$, and, equivalently, every normal completely positive map on $M$ is a pointwise…
Possibilistic conditional independence is investigated: we propose a definition of this notion similar to the one used in probability theory. The links between independence and non-interactivity are investigated, and properties of these…
A physical theory of experiments carried out in a space-time region can accommodate a detector localized in another space-like separated region, in three, not necessarily exclusive, ways: 1) the detector formally collapses physical states…
In 1988, Haagerup and St{\o}rmer conjectured that any pointwise inner automorphism of a type $\rm III_1$ factor is a composition of an inner and a modular automorphism. We study this conjecture and prove that any type $\rm III_1$ factor…
Stochastic incompleteness of a Riemannian manifold $M$ amounts to the nonconservation of probability for the heat semigroup on $M$. We show that this property is equivalent to the existence of nonnegative, nontrivial, bounded (sub)solutions…
The goal of this paper is twofold. In addition to the results stated in the next paragraph, we present some classical results on absoluteness relevant to functional analysis that are well known to logicians but not nearly as well advertised…
We focus on the Sobolev spaces of bounded subanalytic submanifolds of $\mathbb{R}^n$. We prove that if $M$ is such a manifold then the space $\mathscr{C}_0^\infty(M)$ is dense in $W^{1,p}(M,\partial M)$ (the kernel of the trace operator)…
We give a sufficient condition for a countable group $G$ to possess a probability measure $\mu$ that admits a non-trivial $\mu$-boundary modeled in the space $\mathrm{Sub}_{\mathrm{am}}(G)$ of amenable subgroups of $G$. In particular, for…
We study the space of traces associated with arbitrary full free products of unital, separable $C^*$-algebras. We show that, unless certain basic obstructions (which we fully characterize) occur, the space of traces always results in the…
We compare two properties for a CW-space $X$ of finite type: (1) being homotopy equivalent to a CW-complex without $j$-cells for $k\leq j\leq \ell$ (($k,\ell$)-cellfree) and (2) $H^j(X;R)=0$ for any $\mathbb Z\pi_1(X)$-module $R$ when…
In this paper, we present the necessary and sufficient conditions of separability for bipartite pure states in infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. Let $M$ be the matrix of the amplitudes of $\ket\psi$, we prove $M$ is a compact operator.…
We propose to study a natural version of Connes' Rigidity Conjecture that involves property (T) groups with infinite center. Utilizing techniques at the intersection of von Neumann algebras and geometric group theory, we establish several…
Let $A$ be a homogeneous C*-algebra and $\phi$ a state on $A.$ We show that if $\phi$ satisfies a certain faithfulness condition, then there is a net of finite-rank, unital completely positive, $\phi$-preserving maps on $A$ that tend to the…
We introduce a test for the conditional independence of random variables $X$ and $Y$ given a random variable $Z$, specifically by sampling from the joint distribution $(X,Y,Z)$, binning the support of the distribution of $Z$, and conducting…
We study the family of depolarizations of a squarefree monomial ideal $I$, i.e. all monomial ideals whose polarization is $I$. We describe a method to find all depolarizations of $I$ and study some of the properties they share and some they…
In this paper we study the (strong) Leibniz property of centered moments of bounded random variables. We shall answer a question raised by M. Rieffel on the non-commutative standard deviation.
Free independence is an important tool for studying the structure of operator algebras. It is natural to ask from the model-theoretic standpoint whether free independence is captured well in first-order model theory via the notion of a…
Let $A$ be a ring of dimension $d$ containing an infinite field $k$, $T_1,\ldots,T_r$ be variables over $A$ and $P$ be a projective $A[T_1,\ldots,T_r]$-module of rank $n$. Assume one of the following conditions hold. (1) $2n\geq d+3$ and…
We prove that a model structure on a relative $\infty$-category $(M,W)$ gives an efficient and computable way of accessing the hom-spaces $hom_{M[[W^{-1}]]}(x,y)$ in the localization. More precisely, we show that when the source $x \in M$…
