We study a symmetric Markov extension of k-algebras N \into M, a certain kind of Frobenius extension with conditional expectation that is tracial on the centralizer and dual bases with a separability property. We place a depth two condition…

In this paper we present a conjecture on intermediate subfactors which is a generalization of Wall's conjecture from the theory of finite groups. Motivated by this conjecture, we determine all intermediate subfactors of Goodman-Harpe-Jones…

In this paper we give a number of explicit constructions for II$_1$ factors and II$_1$ equivalence relations that have prescribed fundamental group and outer automorphism group. We construct factors and relations that have uncountable…

We consider II$_1$ factors $M$ which can be realized as inductive limits of subfactors, $N_n \nearrow M$, having spectral gap in $M$ and satisfying the bi-commutant condition $(N_n'\cap M)'\cap M=N_n$. Examples are the enveloping algebras…

A Krishnan-Sunder subfactor $R_U \ss R$ of index $k^2$ is constructed from a permutation biunitary matrix $U\in M_p(\mathbb{C})\otimes M_k(\mathbb{C})$, i.e. the entries of $U$ are either 0 or 1 and both $U$ and its block transpose are…

We prove several unique prime factorization results for tensor products of type II_1 factors coming from groups that can be realized either as subgroups of hyperbolic groups or as discrete subgroups of connected Lie groups of real rank 1.…

We introduce fusion, contragradient and braiding of Hilbert affine representations of a subfactor planar algebra $P$ (not necessarily having finite depth). We prove that if $N \subset M$ is a subfactor realization of $P$, then the Drinfeld…

We prove cocontinuity of the $\max$-tensor product of C*-categories and develop a framework to perform factorization homology in a C*-setting. In such context, we specialize some results of D. Ben-Zvi, A. Brochier and D. Jordan. As a…

Given a II$_1$ factor $M$, a W$^*$-subalgebra $Q\subset M$ is {\it compressible} if for any $\varepsilon>0$ there exists a finite set of unitary elements $\Cal U_0\subset \Cal U(M)$ such that $\| \frac{1}{|\Cal U_0|}\sum_{u\in \Cal U_0}…

We show that whenever $m \geq 1$ and $M_1, \dots, M_m$ are nonamenable factors in a large class of von Neumann algebras that we call $\mathcal C_{(\text{AO})}$ and which contains all free Araki-Woods factors, the tensor product factor $M_1…

For any finite dimensional C^*-algebra A, we give an endomorphism \Phi of the hyperfinite II_1 factor R of finite Jones index such that: for all k \in \mathbb {N}, \Phi^k (R)' \cap R= \otimes^k A. The Jones index [R: \Phi (R)]= (rank…

Subfactors of the hyperfinite II$_1$ factor with ''exotic'' properties can be constructed from nondegenerate commuting squares of multi-matrix algebras. We show that the subfactor planar algebra of these commuting square subfactors…

We prove a basic result about tensor products of a $\text{II}_1$ factor with a finite von Neumann algebra and use it to answer, affirmatively, a question asked by S. Popa about maximal injective factors.

In which a theory of dimension related to the Jones index and based on the notion of conjugation is developed. An elementary proof of the additivity and multiplicativity of the dimension is given and there is an associated trace.…

The measure-multiplicity-invariant for masas in $\rm{II}_{1}$ factors was introduced in \cite{MR2261688} to distinguish masas that have the same Puk\'{a}nszky invariant. In this paper we study the measure class in the…

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 bring together ideas in analysis of Hopf *-algebra actions on II_1 subfactors of finite Jones index and algebraic characterizations of Frobenius, Galois and cleft Hopf extensions to prove a non-commutative algebraic analogue of the…

The subfactor approach to modular invariants gives insight into the fusion rule structure of the modular invariants.

A subfactor is an inclusion $N \subset M$ of von Neumann algebras with trivial centers. The simplest example comes from the fixed points of a group action $M^G \subset M$, and subfactors can be thought of as fixed points of more general…

The notion of index for inclusions of von Neumann algebras goes back to a seminal work of Jones on subfactors of type ${I\!I}_1$. In the absence of a trace, one can still define the index of a conditional expectation associated to a…
