Let M and N be smooth manifolds. For an open V of M let emb(V,N) be the space of embeddings from V to N. By results of Goodwillie and Goodwillie-Klein, the cofunctor V |--> emb(V,N) is analytic if dim(N)-dim(M) > 2. We deduce that its…

We study uniform perturbations of crossed product C$^*$-algebras by amenable groups. Given a unital inclusion of C$^*$-algebras $C\subseteq D$ and sufficiently close separable intermediate C$^*$-subalgebras $A$, $B$ for this inclusion with…

A subalgebra $\mathcal{A}$ of $\mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$ is said to be projection compressible if $P\mathcal{A}P$ is an algebra for all orthogonal projections $P\in\mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$. Likewise, $\mathcal{A}$ is said to be idempotent…

For a locally compact group $G$, let $A(G)$ denote its Fourier algebra, $M_{cb}(A(G))$ the completely bounded multipliers of $A(G)$, and $A_{M_cb}(G)$ the closure of $A(G)$ in $M_{cb}(A(G))$. We show that, if $A_{M_cb}(G)$ is amenable, then…

We show that a Fell bundle B = {B_t}_{t \in F}, over an arbitrary free group F, is amenable, whenever it is orthogonal (in the sense that B_x^* B_y = 0, if x and y are distinct generators of F) and semi-saturated (in the sense that B_{ts}…

Let (R,m) be a noetherian local ring and let $\mathcal{C}$ be the class of all R-modules M which possess a reflexive submodule U such that M/U is finitely generated. For every R-module $M\in \mathcal{C}$ the canonical embedding $\varphi:…

The groupoid normalisers of a unital inclusion $B\subseteq M$ of von Neumann algebras consist of the set $\mathcal{GN}_M(B)$ of partial isometries $v\in M$ with $vBv^*\subseteq B$ and $v^*Bv\subseteq B$. Given two unital inclusions…

Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring and $I$ an ideal of $R$. For every $R$-module $M$, $\gamma_I(M) = \sum\{ \operatorname{Bi} f \,|\, f \in \operatorname{Hom}_R(I,M)\}$ is called the trace of $I$ in $M$. It is…

We prove that every finitely generated, residually finite group $G$ embeds into a finitely generated perfect branch group $\Gamma$ such that many properties of $G$ are preserved under this embedding. Among those are the properties of being…

For a class of wreath-like product groups with property (T), we describe explicitly all the embeddings between their von Neumann algebras. This allows us to provide a continuum of ICC groups with property (T) whose von Neumann algebras are…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space and let $\af$ be a homeomorphism on $X.$ Related to a theorem of Pimsner, we show that $C(X)\rtimes_{\af}\Z$ can be embedded into a unital simple AF-algebra if and only if there is a strictly positive…

In this article, we proved the following results. Let $L(F(n_i))$ be the free group factor on $n_i$ generators and $\lambda (g_{i})$ be one of standard generators of $L(F(n_i))$ for $1\le i\le N$. Let $\A_i$ be the abelian von Neumann…

We show that a space with a finite asymptotic dimension is embeddable in a non-positively curved manifold. Then we prove that if a uniformly contractible manifold X is uniformly embeddable in $\R^n$ or non-positively curved n-dimensional…

Let $Z$ be an affine algebraic variety and $X$ be a smooth flexible variety. We develop some criteria under which $Z$ admits a closed embedding into $X$. In particular, we show that if $X$ is isomorphic (as an algebraic variety) to a…

We define a Banach algebra A to be dual if $A = (A_\ast)^\ast$ for a closed submodule $A_\ast$ of $A^\ast$. The class of dual Banach algebras includes all $W^\ast$-algebras, but also all algebras M(G) for locally compact groups G, all…

Let $R=K[G]$ be a group ring of a group $G$ over a field $K$. The Ore condition says that for any $a,b\in R$ there exist $u,v\in R$ such that $au=bv$, where $u\ne0$ or $v\ne0$. It always holds whenever $G$ is amenable. Recently it was shown…

We study correspondences of tracial von Neumann algebras from the model-theoretic point of view. We introduce and study an ultraproduct of correspondences and use this ultraproduct to prove, for a fixed pair of tracial von Neumann algebras…

We construct countable groups $G$ with the following new degree of W*-superrigidity: if $L(G)$ is virtually isomorphic, in the sense of admitting a bifinite bimodule, with any other group von Neumann algebra $L(\Lambda)$, then the groups…

We will show in this paper that if $\lambda$ is very close to 1, then $$I(M,\lambda,m)= \sup_{u\in H^{1,n}_0(M) ,\int_M|\nabla u|^ndV=1}\int_\Omega (e^{\alpha_n |u|^\frac{n}{n-1}}-\lambda\sum\limits_{k=1}^m\frac{|\alpha_nu^\frac{n}{n-1}|^k}…

An algebra $\mathcal{A}$ of $n\times n$ complex matrices is said to be \textit{idempotent compressible} if $E\mathcal{A}E$ is an algebra for all idempotents $E\in\mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$. Analogously, $\mathcal{A}$ is said to be…
