We give several simple and easy complements to our recent paper on $C^*$-algebras with the lifting property (LP in short). In particular we observe that the local lifting property (LLP in short) associated to the class of max-contractions…

We establish explicit expressions for the $K$-theory classes of higher Kazhdan projections for amalgamated product groups $\mathbb{Z}_m*_{\mathbb{Z}_d}\mathbb{Z}_n$. Our approach follows the methodology developed by Pooya and Wang for free…

We provide a counterexample to the HK-conjecture using the flat manifold odometers constructed by Deeley. Deeley's counterexample uses an odometer built from a flat manifold of dimension 9 and an expansive self-cover. We strengthen this…

Operator systems of matrices can be viewed as quantum analogues of finite graphs. This analogy suggests many natural combinatorial questions in linear algebra. We determine the quantum Ramsey numbers $QR(2,k)$ and the lower quantum Tur\'an…

We prove an analog of the disintegration theorem for tracial von Neumann algebras in the setting of elementary equivalence rather than isomorphism, showing that elementary equivalence of two direct integrals implies fiberwise elementary…

We provide a complete characterization of theories of tracial von Neumann algebras that admit quantifier elimination. We also show that the theory of a separable tracial von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{N}$ is never model complete if its…

We study the local quantization principle (after Sorin Popa~\cite{popa 94} and \cite{popa 95}) of inclusions of tracial von Neumann algebras. Let $(\mathcal{M},\tau)$ be a type ${\rm II}_1$ von Neumann algebra and let $\mathcal{N}\subseteq…

We show that every strongly $\mathbb{Z}$-graded C*-algebra (equivalently, every C*-algebra carrying a strongly continuous $\mathbb{T}$-action with full spectral subspaces) is a Cuntz--Pimsner algebra, and describe subalgebras and subspaces…

Let ${\mathcal M}$ be a von Neumann algebra equipped with a normal semifinite faithful (nsf) trace. We say that an operator $T :{\mathcal M}\to {\mathcal M}$ is absolutely dilatable if there exist another von Neumann algebra $M$ with an nsf…

We study the interaction between entropy and Wasserstein distance in free probability theory. In particular, we give lower bounds for several versions of free entropy dimension along Wasserstein geodesics, as well as study their topological…

We study the problem when an almost commuting $n$-tuple self-adjoint operators in an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space $H$ is close to an $n$-tuple of commuting self-adjoint operators on $H.$ We give an affirmative answer to the…

In this paper, we give some properties of the fixed point algebra and the crossed product of a unital separable simple infinite dimensional C*-algebra by an action of a second-countable compact group with the tracial Rokhlin property with…

We prove the Jones Index Theorem using the K-theory of a cluster $C^*$-algebra of the Riemann sphere with two boundary components.

We provide the first quantitative estimates for the rate of convergence in the free multiplicative central limit theorem (CLT), in terms of the Kolmogorov and $r$-Wasserstein distances for $r \geq 1$. While the free additive CLT has been…

A pseudo-Cartan inclusion is a regular inclusion having a Cartan envelope. Unital pseudo-Cartan inclusions were classified by Pitts; we extend this classification to include the non-unital case. The class of pseudo-Cartan inclusions…

We introduce a natural concept of positive definiteness for bundle maps between Fell bundles over (possibly different) discrete groups and describe several examples. Such maps induce completely positive maps between the associated full…

We show that the left regular representation of Neretin groups is factorial, providing the first example of a non-discrete simple group with this property. This is based on a new criterion of factoriality for totally disconnected groups.…

Trace formulas appear in many forms in noncommutative geometry (NCG). In the first part of this thesis, we obtain results for asymptotic expansions of trace formulas like heat trace expansions by adapting the theory of Multiple Operator…

The graphical operation of insplitting is key to understanding conjugacy of shifts of finite type (SFTs) in both one and two dimensions. In this paper, we consider two approaches to studying 2-dimensional SFTs: textile systems and rank-2…

We establish the equivalence between exponential decay of the relative entropy along a quantum Markov semigroup and the modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality for general von Neumann algebras. We also extend an intertwining criterion for…
