We show that any finite dimensional von Neumann algebra admits an orthonormal unitary basis with respect to its standard trace. We also show that a finite dimensional von Neumann subalgebra of $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ admits an orthonormal unitary…

An open question of Sorin Popa asks whether or not every $R^{\mathcal{U}}$-embeddable factor admits an embedding into $R^{\mathcal{U}}$ with factorial relative commutant. We show that there is a locally universal McDuff II$_1$ factor $M$…

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 $M$…

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 show that it is relatively consistent with ZFC that there exists a hyperfinite type $\mathrm{II}_1$-factor of density character $\aleph_1$ which is not isomorphic to its opposite, does not have any outer automorphisms, and has trivial…

To any complex Hadamard matrix H one associates a spin model commuting square, and therefore a hyperfinite subfactor. The standard invariant of this subfactor captures certain "group-like" symmetries of H. To gain some insight, we compute…

Let $\Lambda$ be a commutative local uniserial ring of length at least seven with radical factor ring $k$. We consider the category $S(\Lambda)$ of all possible embeddings of submodules of finitely generated $\Lambda$-modules and show that…

Given a free group $F_k$ of rank $k\ge 2$ with a fixed set of free generators we associate to any homomorphism $\phi$ from $F_k$ to a group $G$ with a left-invariant semi-norm a generic stretching factor, $\lambda(\phi)$, which is a…

We consider II$_1$ factors $M$ which can be realized as inductive limits of subfactors, $N_n \nearrow M$, having spectral gap in $M$ and satisfying the bi-commutant condition $(N_n'\cap M)'\cap M=N_n$. Examples are the enveloping algebras…

For a commutative local ring $R$, consider (noncommutative) $R$-algebras $\Lambda$ of the form $\Lambda = End_R(M)$ where $M$ is a reflexive $R$-module with nonzero free direct summand. Such algebras $\Lambda$ of finite global dimension can…

We construct a class of II_1 factors M that admit unclassifiably many Cartan subalgebras in the sense that the equivalence relation of being conjugate by an automorphism of M is complete analytic, in particular non Borel. We also construct…

This paper further studies the model companion of an endomorphism acting on a vector space, possibly with extra structure. Given a theory $T$ that $\varnothing$-defines an infinite $K$-vector space $\mathbb{V}$ in every model, we set…

It is a well-known fact that the first and last non-trivial coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a linear operator are respectively its trace and its determinant. This work shows how to compute recursively all the coefficients…

In this paper we study matrix algebras with a degenerate trace in the framework of the theory of polynomial identities. The first part is devoted to the study of the algebra $D_n$ of $n \times n$ diagonal matrices. We prove that, in case of…

Subfactor theory provides a tool to analyze and construct extensions of Quantum Field Theories, once the latter are formulated as local nets of von Neumann algebras. We generalize some of the results of [LR95] to the case of extensions with…

We prove that it is not possible to classify separable von Neumann factors of types $\II_1$, $\II_\infty$ or $\III_\lambda$, $0\leq \lambda\leq1$, up to isomorphism by a Borel measurable assignment of "countable structures" as invariants.…

We construct solutions of type-II supergravity based on multiple copies and/or mixings of $\lambda$-deformed coset CFTs on $\mathrm{SO}(n+1)_k/\mathrm{SO}(n)_k$, with $n = 2, 3, 4$. The resulting ten-dimensional geometries contain…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. We introduce a general form of the classically studied trace map that unifies several notions from the literature. We develop a theory around these…

A variant of the trace in a monoidal category is given in the setting of closed monoidal derivators, which is applicable to endomorphisms of fiberwise dualizable objects. Functoriality of this trace is established. As an application, an…

If $N \subset \R$ is a separable II$_1$-factor, the space $\Hom(N,\R)$ of unitary equivalence classes of unital *-homomorphisms $N \to \R$ is shown to have a surprisingly rich structure. If $N$ is not hyperfinite, $\Hom(N,\R)$ is an…
