We prove some unique prime factorization results for tensor products of type $II_1$ factors of the form $\Gamma_q(\mathbb{C}, S \otimes H)$ arising from symmetric independent copies with sub-exponential dimensions of the spaces $D_k(S)$ and…
We prove a Kurosh type theorem for free-product type II_1 factors. In particular, if M = LF_2 \otimes R, then the free-product type II_1 factors M*...*M are all prime and pairwise non-isomorphic. This paper is a continuation of [N. Ozawa,…
Let $M$ be a $\rm II_1$ factor and let $\mathcal{F}(M)$ denote the fundamental group of $M$. In this article, we study the following property of $M$: for arbitrary $\rm II_1$ factor $B$, we have $\mathcal{F}(M \overline{\otimes}…
We prove that if $\Gamma$ is an icc irreducible lattice in a product of connected non-compact rank one simple Lie groups with finite center, then the II$_1$ factor $L(\Gamma)$ is prime. In particular, we deduce that the II$_1$ factors…
We call a subfactor trivial if it is isomorphic with the obvious inclusion of N into matrices over N. We prove the existence of type II_1 factors M without non-trivial finite index subfactors. Equivalently, every M-M-bimodule with finite…
We prove that for any free ergodic probability measure preserving action \F_n \actson (X,\mu) of a free group on n generators \F_n, 2 \leq n \leq \infty, the associated group measure space II_1 factor $L^\infty(X) \rtimes \F_n$ has…
We prove that II$_1$ factors $M$ have a unique (up to unitary conjugacy) cross-product type decomposition around ``core subfactors'' $N \subset M$ satisfying the property HT and a certain ``torsion freeness'' condition. In particular, this…
We show that whenever $m \geq 1$ and $M_1, \dots, M_m$ are nonamenable factors in a large class of von Neumann algebras that we call $\mathcal C_{(\text{AO})}$ and which contains all free Araki-Woods factors, the tensor product factor $M_1…
We prove that a type II$_1$ factor $M$ can have at most one Cartan subalgebra $A$ satisfying a combination of rigidity and compact approximation properties. We use this result to show that within the class $\Cal H \Cal T$ of factors $M$…
We prove that for any free ergodic probability measure preserving action $\Gamma \actson (X,\mu)$ of a non-elementary hyperbolic group, or a lattice in a rank one simple Lie group, the associated group measure space II_1 factor $L^\infty(X)…
We consider typical finite dimensional complex irreducible representations of a basic classical simple Lie superalgebra, and give a sufficient condition on when unique factorization of finite tensor products of such representations hold. We…
We introduce prime products as a generalization of ultraproducts for positive logic. Prime products are shown to satisfy a version of {\L}o\'s's Theorem restricted to positive formulas, as well as the following variant of Keisler…
The interpolated free group factors L(F_r), 1 < r <= \infty, are defined and proofs of their properties with respect to compression by projections and taking free products are proved. Hence it follows that all the free group factor are…
We construct the first II_1 factors having exactly two group measure space decompositions up to unitary conjugacy. Also, for every positive integer $n$, we construct a II_1 factor $M$ that has exactly $n$ group measure space decompositions…
This paper addresses a conjecture of Kadison and Kastler that a von Neumann algebra M on a Hilbert space H should be unitarily equivalent to each sufficiently close von Neumann algebra N and, moreover, the implementing unitary can be chosen…
We introduce notation Q(1) * ... * Q(n) * L(F_r)$ for von Neumann algebra II_1 factors where $r$ is allowed to be negative. This notation is defined by rescalings of free products of II_1 factors, and is proved to be consistent with known…
We prove some unique factorization results for tensor products of free quantum group factors. They are type III analogues of factorization results for direct products of bi-exact groups established by Ozawa and Popa. In the proof, we first…
We prove that if C is a tensor C*-category in a certain class, then there exists an uncountable family of pairwise non stably isomorphic II_1 factors (M_i) such that the bimodule category of M_i is equivalent to C for all i. In particular,…
We give sufficient conditions, in terms of the existence of unbounded derivations satisfying certain properties, which ensure that a II$_1$ factor $M$ is prime or has at most one Cartan subalgebra. For instance, we prove that if there…
In this paper we give a number of explicit constructions for II$_1$ factors and II$_1$ equivalence relations that have prescribed fundamental group and outer automorphism group. We construct factors and relations that have uncountable…
