Given a von Neumann algebra $M$ we introduce so called central extension $mix(M)$ of $M$. We show that $mix(M)$ is a *-subalgebra in the algebra $LS(M)$ of all locally measurable operators with respect to $M,$ and this algebra coincides…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable group and $(X, \Gamma)$ a compact topological dynamical system. We study the question of the existence of an intermediate $C^*$-subalgebra $\mathcal{A}$ $$C^{*}_{r}(\Gamma)<\mathcal{A}<C(X)\rtimes_r\Gamma,$$…

An algebra is said to be quasi-directly finite when any left-invertible element in its unitization is automatically right-invertible. It is an old observation of Kaplansky that the von Neumann algebra of a discrete group has this property;…

A subalgebra $\mathcal{A}$ of a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{M}$ is logmodular (resp. has factorization) if the set $\{a^*a; a\text{ is invertible with }a,a^{-1}\in\mathcal{A}\}$ is dense in (resp. equal to) the set of all positive and…

In this paper, we give another two characterizations of relative amenability on finite von Neumann algebras, one of which can be thought of as an analogue of injective operator systems. As an application, we prove a stable property of…

We show that the Strong Novikov Conjecture for the maximal C*-algebra C*(G) of a discrete group G is equivalent to a statement in topological K-theory for which the corresponding statement in algebraic K-theory is always true. We also show…

We undertake a comprehensive study of structural properties of graph products of von Neumann algebras equipped with faithful, normal states, as well as properties of the graph products relative to subalgebras coming from induced subgraphs.…

We show that C*-algebras generated by irreducible representations of finitely generated nilpotent groups satisfy the universal coefficient theorem of Rosenberg and Schochet. This result combines with previous work to show that these…

Let $A$ be a finite dimensional $Q-$algebra and $\Gamma subset A$ a $Z-$order. We classify those $A$ with the property that $Z^2$ does not embed in $\mathcal{U}(\Gamma)$. We call this last property the hyperbolic property. We apply this in…

We show that a free product of a II_1-factor and a finite von Neumann algebra with amalgamation over a finite dimensional subalgebra is always a II_1-factor, and provide an algorithm for describing it in terms of free products (with…

In this article, we proved the following results. Let $L(F(n_i))$ be the free group factor on $n_i$ generators and $\lambda (g_{i})$ be one of standard generators of $L(F(n_i))$ for $1\le i\le N$. Let $\A_i$ be the abelian von Neumann…

Let $S$ be a subsemigroup of a second countable locally compact group $G$, such that $S^{-1}S=G$. We consider the $C^*$-algebra $C^*_\delta(S)$ generated by the operators of translation by all elements of $S$ in $L^2(S)$. We show that this…

We prove that the approximately inner automorphism group of a separable strongly stable von Neumann algebra is contractible in the u-topology. Thus the automorphism group of the hyperfinite type III_1 factor is contractible.

We show that for many semi-hyperbolic groups the decomposition into conjugacy classes of the Hochschild homology of the l^1-rapid decay group algebra is injective.

We investigate Gaussian actions through the study of their crossed-product von Neumann algebra. The motivational result is Chifan and Ioana's ergodic decomposition theorem for Bernoulli actions (Ergodic subequivalence relations induced by a…

Bicommutant categories are higher categorical analogs of von Neumann algebras that were recently introduced by the first author. In this article, we prove that every unitary fusion category gives an example of a bicommutant category. This…

We study the von Neumann algebra, generated by the regular representations of the infinite-dimensional nilpotent group $B_0^{\mathbb Z}$. In [14] a condition have been found on the measure for the right von Neumann algebra to be the…

Let $E=E(0,\infty)$ be a symmetric function space and $E(\mathcal{M},\tau)$ be a symmetric operator space associated with a semifinite von Neumann algebra with a faithful normal semifinite trace. Our main result identifies the class of…

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…

Let $M=M_1*M_2$ be a nontrivial tracial free product of finite von Neumann algebras. We prove that any amenable subalgebra of $M$ that has a diffuse intersection with $M_1$ is in fact contained in $M_1$. This has been proved by C. Houdayer…
