Let M be a tracial von Neumann algebra and A be a weakly dense unital C*-subalgebra of M. We say that a set X is a W*-generating set for M if the von Neumann algebra generated by X is M and that X is a C*-generating set for A if the unital…
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…
We show that for any discrete finitely-generated group G and any self-adjoint n-tuple X_1,...,X_n of generators of the group algebra of G, Voiculescu's non-microstates free entropy dimension \delta^*(X_1,...,X_n) is exactly equal to \beta_1…
Suppose M is a hyperfinite von Neumann algebra with a tracial state $\phi$ and $\{a_1,...,a_n\}$ is a set of selfadjoint generators for M. We calculate $\delta_0(a_1,...,a_n)$, the modified free entropy dimension of $\{a_1,...,a_n\}$.…
We define an analog of Voiculescu's free entropy for n-tuples of unitaries (u_{1},...,u_{n}) in a tracial von Neumann algebra M, normalizing a unital diffuse abelian subalgebra B in M. Using this quantity, we define the free dimension…

We prove that if $X_{1},...,X_{n} (n >1)$ are selfadjoints in a $W^{*}$-probability space with finite non-microstates free Fisher information, then the von Neumann algebra $W^{*}(X_{1},...,X_{n})$ they generate doesn't have property…
We calculate the microstates free entropy dimension of natural generators in an amalgamated free product of certain von Neumann algebras, with amalgamation over a hyperfinite subalgebra. In particular, some `exotic' Popa algebra generators…

Suppose $N \subset M$ is an inclusion of $II_1$-factors of finite index. If $N$ can be generated by a finite set of elements, then there exist finite generating sets $X$ for $N$ and $Y$ for $M$ such that $\delta_0(X) \geq \delta_0(Y)$,…
Suppose M is a von Neumann algebra with normal, tracial state phi and {a_1,...,a_n} is a set of self-adjoint elements in M. We provide an alternative uniform packing description of delta_0(a_1,...,a_n), the modified free entropy dimension…
Let $(M, \varphi) = (M_1, \varphi_1) \ast (M_2, \varphi_2)$ be a free product of arbitrary von Neumann algebras endowed with faithful normal states. Assume that the centralizer $M_1^{\varphi_1}$ is diffuse. We first show that any…
In this paper we introduce the concept of the upper free orbit-dimension of a finite von Neumann algebra, and we derive some of its basic properties. Using this concept, we are able to improve most of the applications of free entropy to…
Dykema and Haagerup introduced the class of DT-operators and also showed that every DT-operator generate the von Neumann algebra generated by the free group on two generators. In this paper we prove that Voiculescu's non-microstates free…
If $X, Y,$ and $Z$ are finite sets of selfadjoint elements in a tracial von Neumann algebra and $X$ generates a hyperfinite von Neumann algebra, then $\delta_0(X \cup Y \cup Z) \leq \delta_0(X \cup Y) + \delta_0(X \cup Z) - \delta_0(X).$ We…
