For a conditional expectation E on a (unital) C*-algebra A there exists a real number K>=1 such that the mapping (K.E-id_A) is positive if and only if there exists a real number L>=1 such that the mapping (L.E-id_A) is completely positive,…

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…

Let $\mathcal{N}\subset\mathcal{M}$ be a unital inclusion of arbitrary von Neumann algebras. We give a 2-{$C^*$}-categorical/planar algebraic description of normal faithful conditional expectations…

In the first part of this paper, we give a new look at inclusions of von Neumann algebras with finite-dimensional centers and finite Jones' index. The minimal conditional expectation is characterized by means of a canonical state on the…

For any injective von Neumann algebra R and any discrete, countable group G, which acts by *-automorphisms on R, we construct an idempotent mapping of an ultra-weakly dense subspace of B(H) onto the reducerd crossed product von Neumann…

Let N \subseteq M be von Neumann algebras and E:M\to N a faithful normal conditional expectation. In this work it is shown that the similarity orbit S(E) of E by the natural action of the invertible group of G_M of M has a natural complex…

We prove that finiteness of the index of the intersection of a finite set of finite index subalgebras in a von Neumann algebra (with small centre) is equivalent to the finite dimensionality of the algebra generated by the conditional…

For a finite dimensional algebra $\Lambda$ and a non-negative integer $n$, we characterize when the set $\tilt_n\Lambda$ of additive equivalence classes of tilting modules with projective dimension at most $n$ has a minimal (or…

We determine the minimal lower bound $n$, with $n \geq 1$, where the $n$-th power of the radical of the module category of a representation-finite cluster tilted algebra vanishes. We give such a bound in terms of the number of vertices of…

Let $P_E$ be the set of all values of a spectral measure $E$ and $A(P_E)$ be the smallest von Neumann algebra containing $P_E$. We give a simple description of all sets of generators of $A(P_E)$ in terms of the integrals with respect to…

We determine when there is a unique conditional expectation from a semifinite von Neumann algebra onto a singly-generated maximal abelian *-subalgebra. Our work extends the results of Kadison and Singer via new methods, notably the…

The aim of this paper is to obtain a uniform bound for a certain class of submodules from the following theorem: Let $(R,\frak m)$ be a local ring, let $M$ be a finite $R$--module of dimension $d\ge 1$ and let $\frak q$ be an ideal of $R$…

Let $I$ be an ideal of a Noetherian ring R and M be a finitely generated R-module. We introduce the class of extension modules of finitely generated modules by the class of all modules $T$ with $\dim T\leq n$ and we show it by ${\rm…

Based on the analysis on the Ocneanu/Groh-Raynaud ultraproducts and the Effros-Mar\'echal topology on the space vN(H) of von Neumann algebras acting on a separable Hilbert space H, we show that for a von Neumann algebra M in vN(H), the…

We obtain an estimate of free entropy of generators in a type ${II}_1$-factor $\mc{M}$ which has a subfactor $\mc{N}$ of finite index with a subalgebra $\mc{P}=\mc{P}_1\vee\mc{P}_2\subset\mc{N}$ where $\mc{P}_1=\mc{R}_1'\cap\mc{P}$,…

Over a field of characteristic $0$, we construct a minimal set of generators of the defining ideals of closures of nilpotent conjugacy class in the set of $n \times n$ matrices. This modifies a conjecture of Weyman and provides a complete…

In operator algebra theory, a conditional expectation is usually assumed to be a projection map onto a sub-algebra. In the paper, a further type of conditional expectation and an extension of the Lueders - von Neumann measurement to…

A classical theorem of Forster asserts that a finite module $M$ of rank $\leq n$ over a Noetherian ring of Krull dimension $d$ can be generated by $n + d$ elements. We prove a generalization of this result, with "module" replaced by…

We study the structure of the generator of a symmetric, conservative quantum dynamical semigroup with norm-bounded generator on a von Neumann algebra equipped with a faithful semifinite trace. For von Neumann algebras with abelian commutant…
