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 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…

Using the methods of Ozawa [4] and Runde [5], we show that a type I von Neumann algebra is approximately amenable if and only if it is amenable.

We define Ozawa's notion of bi-exactness to discrete quantum groups, and then prove some structural properties of associated von Neumann algebras. In particular, we prove that any non amenable subfactor of free quantum group von Neumann…

Let $(M, \varphi) = (M_1, \varphi_1) \ast (M_2, \varphi_2)$ be the free product of any $\sigma$-finite von Neumann algebras endowed with any faithful normal states. We show that whenever $Q \subset M$ is a von Neumann subalgebra with…

Let $(M, \varphi) = (M_1, \varphi_1) \ast (M_2, \varphi_2)$ be a free product of arbitrary von Neumann algebras endowed with faithful normal states. Assume that the centralizer $M_1^{\varphi_1}$ is diffuse. We first show that any…

We show that the radial MASA in the orthogonal free quantum group algebra L(FO_N) is maximal amenable if N is large enough, using the Asymptotic Orthogonality Property. This relies on a detailed study of the corresponding bimodule, for…

We show that for F an invertible 2 by 2 matrix, the von Neumann algebra associated to the universal quantum group A_u(F) is a free Araki-Woods factor.

Building on our previous work, we study the non-relative homology of quantum group convolution algebras. Our main result establishes the equivalence of amenability of a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ and 1-injectivity of…

We prove that if $A$ is a non-separable abelian tracial von Neuman algebra then its free powers $A^{*n}, 2\leq n \leq \infty$, are mutually non-isomorphic and with trivial fundamental group, $\mathcal F(A^{*n})=1$, whenever $2\leq…

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 show that the orthogonal free quantum groups are not inner amenable and we construct an explicit proper cocycle weakly contained in the regular representation. This strengthens the result of Vaes and the second author, showing that the…

In his study of amenable unitary representations, M. E. B. Bekka asked if there is an analogue for such representations of the remarkable fixed-point property for amenable groups. In this paper, we prove such a fixed-point theorem in the…

Let $G$ be a subgroup of a discrete (countable) group $\Gamma$. We introduce a notion of relative inner amenability of $G$ in $\Gamma$, we prove some equivalent conditions and provide examples as well as counter-examples. We also discuss…

Let $M$ be a finite von Neumann algebra (resp. a type II$_{1}$ factor) and let $N\subset M$ be a II$_{1}$ factor (resp. $N\subset M$ have an atomic part). We prove that the inclusion $N\subset M$ is amenable implies the identity map on $M$…

We introduce the notion of Zimmer amenability for actions of discrete quantum groups on von Neumann algebras. We prove generalizations of several fundamental results of the theory in the noncommutative case. In particular, we give a…

We study the connection between amenability, F{\o}lner conditions and the geometry of finitely generated semigroups. Using results of Klawe, we show that within an extremely broad class of semigroups (encompassing all groups, left…

We construct inner amenable groups G with infinite conjugacy classes and such that the associated II_1 factor does not have property Gamma of Murray and von Neumann. This solves a problem posed by Effros in 1975.

Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a free (unitary or orthogonal) quantum group. We prove that for any non-amenable subfactor $N\subset L^\infty(\mathbb{G})$, which is an image of a faithful normal conditional expectation, and for any $\sigma$-finite…

The purpose of this article is prove that Thompson's group F is amenable. The methods developed will then be used to prove a generalization of Hindman's theorem for the free nonassociative binary system on one generator.
