In this paper we formulate a conjecture which is a strengthening of an extension theorem of Bakonyi and Timotin for positive definite functions on the free group on two generators. We prove that this conjecture implies Connes' embedding…

Let $X$ be a right Hilbert module over a $C^*$-algebra $A$ equipped with the canonical operator space structure. We define an elementary operator on $X$ as a map $\phi : X \to X$ for which there exists a finite number of elements $u_i$ in…

We show that hyperrigidity for a C*-correspondence $(A,X)$ is equivalent to non-degeneracy of the left action of the Katsura ideal $\mathcal{J}_X$ on $X$. Due to the work of Katsoulis and Ramsey, our result shows that if $G$ is a locally…

In this paper, we construct Laplace-Beltrami operators associated with arbitrary Riemannian metrics on noncommutative tori of any dimension. These operators enjoy the main properties of the Laplace-Beltrami operators on ordinary Riemannian…

A category structure for ordered Bratteli diagrams is proposed in which isomorphism coincides with the notion of equivalence of Herman, Putnam, and Skau. It is shown that the natural one-to-one correspondence between the category of Cantor…

We study the topic of quantum differentiability on quantum Euclidean $d$-dimensional spaces (otherwise known as Moyal $d$-spaces), and we find conditions that are necessary and sufficient for the singular values of the quantised…

Let $(X_1,\dots,X_m)$ be self-adjoint non-commutative random variables distributed according to the free Gibbs law given by a sufficiently regular convex and semi-concave potential $V$, and let $(S_1,\dots,S_m)$ be a free semicircular…

Let $\Gamma_1,\dots,\Gamma_n$ be hyperbolic, property (T) groups, for some $n\ge 1$. We prove that if a product $\Gamma_1\times\dots\times\Gamma_n \curvearrowright X_1\times\dots\times X_n$ of measure preserving actions is stably orbit…

For a right-angled Coxeter system $(W,S)$ and $q>0$, let $\mathcal{M}_q$ be the associated Hecke von Neumann algebra, which is generated by self-adjoint operators $T_s, s \in S$ satisfying the Hecke relation $(\sqrt{q}\: T_s - q) (\sqrt{q}…

We introduce a notion of $\lambda$-graph bisystem. It consists of a pair $({\frak L}^-, {\frak L}^+)$ of two labeled Bratteli diagrams ${\frak L}^-, {\frak L}^+$ over alphabets $\Sigma^-, \Sigma^+$, respectively, and satisfy certain…

Suppose that $X$ is a (real or complex) Banach space, $dimX \geq 2$, and $\mathcal{N}$ is a nest on $X$, with each $N$ in $\mathcal{N}$ is complemented in $X$ whenever $N_{-}=N$. A ternary derivation of $Alg\mathcal{N}$ is a triple of…

In this note, we exhibit an example of a multiparameter CCR flow which is not cocycle conjugate to its opposite. This is in sharp contrast to the one parameter situation

We study the equilibrium simplex of Nica-Pimsner algebras arising from product systems of finite rank on the free abelian semigroup. First we show that every equilibrium state has a convex decomposition into parts parametrized by ideals on…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of Continuous $\ast$-g-Frame in Hilbert $C^{\ast}$-Modules and we establish some results. We also discuss the stability problem for Continuous $\ast$-g-Frame.

We study diagonal actions $\varphi:\mathbb{F}_2\curvearrowright\partial\mathbb{F}_2\times K$ on the Cantor set which are given by $\varphi_a=\partial_a\times\alpha,\varphi_b=\partial_b\times\beta$. Under some restrictions on $\alpha,\beta$…

We define operator-valued Schur and Herz--Schur multipliers in terms of module actions, and show that the standard properties of these multipliers follow from well-known facts about these module actions and duality theory for group actions.…

The main objects under study are quotients of multiplier algebras of certain complete Nevanlinna--Pick spaces, examples of which include the Drury--Arveson space on the ball and the Dirichlet space on the disc. We are particularly…

I show that quasidiagonality and AF embeddability are equivalent properties for traceless $\mathrm C^\ast$-algebras and are characterised in terms of the primitive ideal space. For nuclear $\mathrm C^\ast$-algebras the same characterisation…

We prove that the multiplication map L^a(M)\otimes_M L^b(M)\to L^{a+b}(M) is an isometric isomorphism of (quasi)Banach M-M-bimodules. Here L^a(M)=L_{1/a}(M) is the noncommutative L_p-space of an arbitrary von Neumann algebra M and \otimes_M…

We define partial product systems over N. They generalise product systems over N and Fell bundles over Z. We define Toeplitz C*-algebras and relative Cuntz-Pimsner algebras for them and show that the section C*-algebra of a Fell bundle over…
