This is a continuation of our previous paper studying the structure of Cartan subalgebras of von Neumann factors of type II_1. We provide more examples of II_1 factors having either zero, one or several Cartan subalgebras. We also prove a…

This paper includes a series of structural results for von Neumann algebras arising from measure preserving actions by product groups on probability spaces. Expanding upon the methods used earlier by the first two authors \cite{CS}, we…

We study the complexity of the classification problem for Cartan subalgebras in von Neumann algebras. We construct a large family of II$_1$ factors whose Cartan subalgebras up to unitary conjugacy are not classifiable by countable…

We demonstrate von Neumann algebra arising from an icc group $\Gamma$ in Chifan's, Ioana's, and Kida's class of poly-$\mathcal{C}_\text{rss} $, such as a poly-hyperbolic group with no amenable factors in its composition series, satisfies…

We prove that the normalizer of any diffuse amenable subalgebra of a free group factor $L(\Bbb F_r)$ generates an amenable von Neumann subalgebra. Moreover, any II$_1$ factor of the form $Q \vt L(\Bbb F_r) $, with $Q$ an arbitrary subfactor…

We investigate Cartan subalgebras in nontracial amalgamated free product von Neumann algebras $M_1 \ast_B M_2$ over an amenable von Neumann subalgebra $B$. First, we settle the problem of the absence of Cartan subalgebra in arbitrary free…

In this paper we analyze the structure of some sets of non-commutative moments of elements in a finite von Neumann algebra M. If the fundamental group of M is R_+\{0}, then the moment sets are convex, and if M is isomorphic to M tensor M,…

In this paper we prove that whenever $G$ is hyperbolic relative to a family of exact, ressidually finite subgroups $\{H_1, \ldots, H_n\}$, the corresponding von Neumann algebra $\mathcal L(G)$ is solid relative to the family of subalgebras…

We give examples of non-amenable ICC groups $\Gamma$ with the Haagerup property, weakly amenable with constant $\Lambda_{\cb}(\Gamma) = 1$, for which we show that the associated ${\rm II_1}$ factors $L(\Gamma)$ are strongly solid, i.e. the…

We construct a group measure space II$_1$ factor that has two non-conjugate Cartan subalgebras. We show that the fundamental group of the II$_1$ factor is trivial, while the fundamental group of the equivalence relation associated with the…

For any given integer $n\geq 1$, we construct i.c.c. groups $G$ such that the II$_1$ factors $L(G)$ have exactly $n$-many $G$-invariant von Neumann subalgebras not arising from subgroups.

We study Cartan subalgebras in the context of amalgamated free product II$_1$ factors and obtain several uniqueness and non-existence results. We prove that if $\Gamma$ belongs to a large class of amalgamated free product groups (which…

We prove that the relative commutant of a diffuse von Neumann subalgebra in a hyperbolic group von Neumann algebra is always injective. It follows that any non-injective subfactor in a hyperbolic group von Neumann algebra is non-Gamma and…

We address the problem to characterise closed type I subgroups of the automorphism group of a tree. Even in the well-studied case of Burger-Mozes' universal groups, non-type I criteria were unknown. We prove that a huge class of groups…

In this paper we introduce a new class of non-amenable groups denoted by ${\bf NC}_1 \cap {\bf Quot}(\mathcal C_{rss})$ which give rise to $\textit{prime}$ von Neumann algebras. This means that for every $\Gamma \in {\bf NC}_1 \cap {\bf…

We obtain new Bass-Serre type rigidity results for ${\rm II_1}$ equivalence relations and their von Neumann algebras, coming from free ergodic actions of free products of groups on the standard probability space. As an application, we show…

Using an interplay between geometric methods in group theory and soft von Neuman algebraic techniques we prove that for any icc, acylindrically hyperbolic group $\Gamma$ its von Neumann algebra $L(\Gamma)$ satisfies the so-called ISR…

We generalize a theorem of Chifan and Ioana by proving that for any, possibly type III, amenable von Neumann algebra $A_0$, any faithful normal state $\varphi_0$ and any discrete group $\Gamma$, the associated Bernoulli crossed product von…

We introduce the notion of L^2-rigidity for von Neumann algebras, a generalization of property (T) which can be viewed as an analogue for the vanishing of 1-cohomology into the left regular representation of a group. We show that…

We prove that the rational number |n/m| is an invariant of the group von Neumann algebra of the Baumslag-Solitar group BS(n,m). More precisely, if L(BS(n,m)) is isomorphic with L(\BS(n',m')), then |n'/m'| = |n/m| or |m/n|. We obtain this…
