A Classification of Flows on AFD Factors with Faithful Connes--Takesaki Modules

Abstract

We classify flows on AFD factors with faithful Connes-Takesaki modules. This is a generalization of classification of trace-scaling flows on the AFD $\mathrm{II}_\infty$ factor, which is equivalent to the uniqueness of the AFD $\mathrm{III}_1$ factor. In order to do this, we show that a flow on an AFD factor with faithful Connes-Takesaki module has the Rohlin property, which gives a partial answer to a characterization problem of the Rohlin property posed by Masuda-Tomatsu. It is also possible to think of this result as an $\mathbf{R}$-version of Izumi's result about compact group actions on type III factors with faithful Connes-Takesaki modules.

Maximal Ergodic Theorems for Operators with Finite Peripheral Spectrum

Let $\mathcal M$ be a semifinite von Neumann algebra and $T : \mathcal{M} \to \mathcal{M}$ be a positive $L_\infty-L_1$ contraction in the sense of Junge-Xu, of which the numerical range, when viewed as an operator on $L_2(\mathcal M),$ is contained in a closed polygon with vertices on the unit circle. In this article, we prove that there exists a positive constant $C_p(T)$ such that \begin{equation}\label{abstract1stin} \Big\|\sup_{n \ge 0}\!^{+} T^n x \Big\|_p \le C_p(T)\, \|x\|_p \end{equation} for all \( x \in L_p(\mathcal{M}) \), $1<p<\infty$ extending some noncommutative maximal ergodic inequalities proved by Junge-Xu \cite{junge-Xu} and later generalized by Bekjan \cite{Bekjan2008}. In the commutative setting, similar inequalities as in \eqref{abstract1stin} hold for arbitrary $L_\infty-L_1$ contractions with the same condition in the numerical range, yielding a vast generalization of a classical maximal ergodic theorem of Stein \cite{Stein-ergodic-theorem} proved in 1960s. Moreover, we establish a noncommutative weak-type maximal inequality for convolution powers which was proved by Calderón and Bellow \cite{Bellow-Calderon} in the classical setting, complementing our strong type noncommutative maximal ergodic inequalities. Our method relies on several new polynomial identities, suitable square function estimates tailored to fit our setting and generalization of Stein's method of embedding maximal function into analytic family of operators. However, we show that even in the classical setting, the variational inequality extending \eqref{abstract1stin} holds for arbitrary operators described above, precisely when the spectrum meets the unit circle only at $1.$

The noncommutative topological factor theorem for rank-one product lattices

We prove a noncommutative topological factor theorem for irreducible lattices in products of real rank-one simple Lie groups. The intermediate C*-subalgebras between the reduced group C*-algebra and the boundary crossed product are exactly the crossed products arising from coordinate subproducts of the Furstenberg boundary. This follows from a more general theorem for product boundary actions, which also yields tree and mixed local-field versions. We finally show that, for lattices in connected semisimple real Lie groups with finite center and no compact factors, the scalar-expectation case of the corresponding classification is equivalent to ordinary ITAP.

Representation stability for compact and discrete quantum groups

We study approximate representations of locally compact quantum groups and prove stability results in the sense of Ulam in this context. Our main result is that compact and amenable discrete quantum groups are representation stable. We also show that an analogous stability result holds for unitary compressions of general amenable locally compact quantum groups without the assumption of compactness or discreteness.
