Abstract

In these notes we develop a link between the Kadison-Singer problem and questions about certain dynamical systems. We conjecture that whether or not a given state has a unique extension is related to certain dynamical properties of the state. We prove that if any state corresponding to a minimal idempotent point extends uniquely to the von Neumann algebra of the group, then every state extends uniquely to the von Neumann algebra of the group. We prove that if any state arising in the Kadsion-Singer problem has a unique extension, then the injective envelope of a C*-crossed product algebra associated with the state necessarily contains the full von Neumann algebra of the group. We prove that this latter property holds for states arising from rare ultrafilters and $δ$-stable ultrafilters, independent, of the group action and also for states corresponding to non-recurrent points in the corona of the group.

Remarks on Derivations on Maximal Triangular Operator Algebras

This note concerns bounded derivations on maximal triangular operator algebras on a Hilbert space. Given any bounded derivation $δ$ on a maximal triangular algebra whose invariant lattice is continuous at 1, an operator which is shown to implement $δ$ is constructed explicitly. For a general reducible maximal triangular algebra the same construction yields an operator which is shown to implement any $δ$, if and only if $δ$ obeys an additional triple product rule. This work is based on unpublished parts of the author's dissertation [19] and describes a variant of the proof of a more general result in [21] and is thus in effect a footnote to that work. To the best of the author's knowledge the constructive proof and triple product rule have not appeared elsewhere. The work here is not set in the context of the large body of subsequent research, and no claims are made regarding its relationship to later developments.

An Approximate-Diagonal Characterization of Amenable Actions on C*Algebras

We introduce relative $h$-diagonals for crossed products $A\rtimes_αΓ$ by discrete groups, which are positive-form approximate diagonals in the Haagerup tensor product taken relative to $A$. We show that $α$ is amenable if and only if $A\rtimes_αΓ$ admits a relative $h$-diagonal, an analogue of Johnson's theorem for $L^{1}(G)$.

Failure of noncommutative Rota's theorem with $L\log L$ endpoint

We construct a factorizable Markov map $T$ on a hyperfinite finite von Neumann algebra and a positive element $x\in L\log L$ for which the sequence $T^n(T^*)^n x$ does not converge bilaterally almost uniformly. This answers a question of Anantharaman-Delaroche \cite{AD2006}.
