Several recent articles in operator algebras make a nontrivial use of the theory of measurable fields of von Neumann algebras $(M_x)_{x \in X}$ and related structures. This includes the associated field $(\text{Aut}\ M_x)_{x \in X}$ of…

We show that for an \'etale groupoid with compact unit space, the natural Dirac type operator from a continuous length function produces a natural pseudo-metric on the state space of the corresponding reduced $C^{\ast}$-algebra. For a…

A ring is called clean if every element is the sum of an invertible element and an idempotent. This paper investigates the cleanness of AW*-algebras. We prove that all finite AW*-algebras are clean, affirmatively solving a question posed by…

Motivated by the interplay between quadratic algebras, noncommutative geometry, and operator theory, we introduce the notion of quadratic subproduct systems of Hilbert spaces. Specifically, we study the subproduct systems induced by a…

We characterize $B$-valued semi-circular system in terms of $B$-valued free probabilistic analogue of Poincar\'{e} inequality. This is a $B$-valued generalization of Biane's theorem \cite[Theorem 5.1]{b03}. Moreover, we prove that…

We compute the $K_1$-group of ultraproducts of unital, simple $C^*$-algebras with unique trace and strict comparison. As an application, we prove that the reduced free group $C^*$-algebras $C^*_r(F_m)$ and $C^*_r(F_n)$ are elementarily…

We give an alternative construction of the essential $C^*$-algebra of an \'etale groupoid, along with an ``amenability'' notion for such groupoids that is implied by the nuclearity of this essential $C^*$-algebra. In order to do this we…

We introduce diagonal comparison, a regularity property of diagonal pairs where the sub-C*-algebra has totally disconnected spectrum, and establish its equivalence with the concurrence of strict comparison of the ambient C*-algebra and…

Given a countable group $G$, let ${\rm L}(G)$ denote its von Neumann algebra. For a wide class of ICC groups with Kazhdan's property (T), we confirm a conjecture of V.F.R. Jones asserting that $Out(\text{L}(G))\cong Char (G)\rtimes Out(G)$.…

We prove that a polynomial path of Riemannian metrics on a closed spin manifold induces a continuous field in the spectral propinquity of metric spectral triples.

Given a weak Kac system with duality $(\mathcal{H},V,U)$ arising from regular $\mathrm{C}^{*}$-algebraic locally compact quantum group $(\mathcal{G},\Delta)$, a $\mathrm{C}^{*}$-algebra $A$, and a sufficiently well-behaved coaction…

We revisit tensor algebras of subproduct systems with Hilbert space fibers, resolving some open questions in the case of infinite dimensional fibers. We characterize when a tensor algebra can be identified as the algebra of uniformly…

This in an introduction to free probability theory, covering the basic combinatorial and analytic theory, as well as the relations to random matrices and operator algebras. The material is mainly based on the two books of the lecturer, one…

A three-functor formalism is the half of a six-functor formalism that supports the projection and base change formulas. In this paper, we provide a three-functor formalism for commutative von Neumann algebras and their modules. Using the…

We prove that if a connected and simply connected Lie group $G$ admits connected closed normal subgroups $G_1\subseteq G_2\subseteq \cdots \subseteq G_m=G$ with $\dim G_j=j$ for $j=1,\dots,m$, then its group $C^*$-algebra has closed…

We study operator algebraic and function theoretic aspects of algebras of bounded nc functions on subvarieties of the nc domain determined by all levels of the unit ball of an operator space (nc operator balls). Our main result is the…

We study algebras of bounded noncommutative (nc) functions on unit balls of operator spaces (nc operator balls) and on their subvarieties. Considering the example of the nc unit polydisk we show that these algebras, while having a natural…

These notes are the output of a decade of research on how the results about dilations of one-parameter CP-semigroups with the help of product systems, can be put forward to d-parameter semigroups - and beyond. While exisiting work on the…

Given a noncommutative (nc) variety $\mathfrak{V}$ in the nc unit ball $\mathfrak{B}_d$, we consider the algebra $H^\infty(\mathfrak{V})$ of bounded nc holomorphic functions on $\mathfrak{V}$. We investigate the problem of when two algebras…

We study algebras of bounded, noncommutative (nc) analytic functions on nc subvarieties of the nc unit ball. Given a nc variety $\mathfrak{V}$ in the nc unit ball $\mathfrak{B}_d$, we identify the algebra of bounded analytic functions on…
