Let M be a von Neumann algebra, f a faithful normal state and denote by M^f the fixed point algebra of the modular group of f. Let U_M and U_{M^f} be the unitary groups of M and M^f. In this paper we study the quotient U_M/U_{M^f} endowed…

The starting points for this paper are simple descriptions of the norm and strong* closures of the unitary orbit of a normal operator in a von Neumann algebra. The statements are in terms of spectral data and do not depend on the type or…

Let G be a reductive algebraic group in classical types A, B, D and e be an element of its Lie algebra with Z its centraliser in G for the adjoint action. We suppose that e identifies with an nilpotent matrix of order two, which guarantees…

We introduce the fundamental group $F(\mathcal{M})$ of a finite von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$ with finite dimensional normal trace space. The form of $F(\mathcal{M})$ is completely determined. Moreover, there exists a finite von Neumann…

We review and further develop the theory of $E$-orbit functions. They are functions on the Euclidean space $E_n$ obtained from the multivariate exponential function by symmetrization by means of an even part $W_{e}$ of a Weyl group $W$,…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group and let $Z$ be the stabilizer of a nilpotent element $e$ of the Lie algebra of $G$. We consider the action of $Z$ on the flag variety of $G$, and we focus on the case where this action has a finite…

Let G be a Lie groupoid over M such that the target-source map from G to M x M is proper. We show that, if O is an orbit of finite type (i.e. which admits a proper function with finitely many critical points), then the restriction G|U of G…

We introduce a finitely presented prop $\mathcal{S} = \{\mathcal{S}(n,m)\}$ in the category of differential graded modules whose associated operad $U(\mathcal{S})=\{\mathcal{S}(1,m)\}$ is a model for the $E_\infty$-operad. This finite…
