Using a family of graded algebra structures on a planar algebra and a family of traces coming from random matrix theory, we obtain a tower of non-commutative probability spaces, naturally associated to a given planar algebra. The associated…

We characterize when a subfactor $N\subseteq M$ is oracle computable relative to a presentation of the ambient factor $M$ in terms of computability of the Jones basic construction, in terms of computable Pismner-Popa bases, and in terms of…

Given a finite index subfactor, we show that the {\em affine morphisms at zero level} in the affine category over the planar algebra associated to the subfactor is isomorphic to the fusion algebra of the subfactor as a *-algebra. This…

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

We describe an explicit finite presentation for a finite depth subfactor planar algebra. We also show that such planar algebras are singly generated with the generator subject to finitely many relations.

Various generalizations of Cuntz algebras and their relations to symmetry and duality are reviewed. New generalized Cuntz algebras are associated with a subfactor. A characteristic Hilbert space of basic invariants (with respect to the…

In this paper we consider a semigroup of completely positive maps $\tau=(\tau_t,t \ge 0)$ with a faithful normal invariant state $\phi$ on a type-$II_1$ factor $\cla_0$ and propose an index theory. We :achieve this via a more general…

Based on the fact that, for a subfactor $N$ of a II$_1$ factor $M,$ the first non-trivial Jones index is 2 and then $M$ is decomposed as the crossed product of $N$ by an outer action of ${\mathbb{Z}}_2,$ we study pairs $ \{N, uNu^* \}$ from…

For any given integer $n\geq 1$, we construct i.c.c. groups $G$ such that the II$_1$ factors $L(G)$ have exactly $n$-many $G$-invariant von Neumann subalgebras not arising from subgroups.

We give a subfactor construction for a $II_{1}$ factor M which is not anti-isomorphic to itself. The $II_{1}$ factor we consider is essentially the same as the example previously given by Connes. However, our construction uses the recently…

We analyze the effect of pivotal structures (on a 2-category) on the planar algebra associated to a 1-cell as in \cite{Gho08} and come up with the notion of {\em perturbations of planar algebras by weights} (a concept that appeared earlier…

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…

We construct new hyperfinite subfactors with Temperley-Lieb-Jones (TLJ) standard invariant and Jones indices between $4$ and $3 + \sqrt{5}$. Our subfactors occur at all indices between $4$ and $5$ at which finite depth, hyperfinite…

Let Q be any II_1-factor. It is shown that any standard lattice G can be realized as the standard invariant of a free product of (several) rescalings of Q. In particular, if Q has fundamental group equal to the positive reals and if P is…

We show a close relationship between non-degenerate smooth commuting squares of $II_1$-factors with all inclusions of finite index and inclusions of subfactor planar algebras by showing that each leads to a construction of the other. One…

A {\it W$^*$-representation} of a II$_1$ subfactor $N\subset M$ with finite Jones index, $[M:N]<\infty$, is a non-degenerate commuting square embedding of $N\subset M$ into an inclusion of atomic von Neumann algebras $\oplus_{i\in I} \Cal…

Subfactor theory provides a tool to analyze and construct extensions of Quantum Field Theories, once the latter are formulated as local nets of von Neumann algebras. We generalize some of the results of [LR95] to the case of extensions with…

We review the framework subfactors provide for understanding modular invariants. We discuss the structure of a generalized Longo-Rehren subfactor and the relationship between the coupling matrices of such subfactors, modular invariance and…

We define generalised notions of biunitary elements in planar algebras and show that objects arising in quantum information theory such as Hadamard matrices, quantum latin squares and unitary error bases are all given by biunitary elements…

We examine the notion of $\alpha$-strong singularity for subfactors of a \IIi factor, which is a metric quantity that relates the distance between a unitary in the factor and a subalgebra with the distance between that subalgebra and its…
