Abstract

We introduce a family of quantum semigroups and their natural coactions on noncommutative polynomials. We present three invariance conditions, associated with these coactions, for the joint distribution of sequences of selfadjoint noncommutative random variables. For one of the invariance conditions, we prove that the joint distribution of an infinite sequence of noncommutative random variables satisfies it is equivalent to the fact that the sequence of the random variables are identically distributed and boolean independent with respect to the conditional expectation onto its tail algebra. This is a boolean analogue of de Finetti theorem on exchangeable sequences. In the end of the paper, we will discuss the other two invariance conditions which lead to some trivial results.

Quantum Cheeger Inequalities for KMS-Symmetric Quantum Markov Semigroups

In this paper, we establish a quantum Cheeger inequality for primitive KMS-symmetric quantum Markov semigroups in terms of projection conductance. We discuss both projection conductance and classical conductance for graph-based KMS-symmetric quantum Markov semigroups. We show that hypercontractivity and the logarithmic Sobolev inequality hold for primitive KMS-symmetric quantum Markov semigroups. We also present applications of the quantum Cheeger inequality to logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, hypercontractivity, and complete modified logarithmic Sobolev inequalities.

A characterization of simplicity of reduced groupoid C*-algebras

We show that, for a second-countable locally compact Hausdorff étale minimal groupoid with compact unit space, simplicity of the reduced groupoid C*-algebra implies the existence of a comeager set of unit points with C*-simple isotropy group. Combining this result with work of Christensen and Neshveyev on exotic completions of isotropy group algebras, we show that the converse implication is also true. Finally, we construct a Hausdorff étale minimal groupoid with an isotropy group whose induced exotic completion differs from its reduced group C*-algebra, answering a question of Christensen and Neshveyev.

A three-functor formalism for commutative von Neumann algebras

A three-functor formalism is the half of a six-functor formalism that supports the projection and base change formulas. In this paper, we provide a three-functor formalism for commutative von Neumann algebras and their modules. Using the Gelfand-Naimark theorem, this gives rise to a three-functor formalism for measure spaces and measurable bundles of Hilbert spaces. We use this to prove Fell absorption for unitary representations of measure groupoids. The three-functor formalism for commutative von Neumann algebras takes values in W*-categories, and we discuss in what sense it is a unitary three-functor formalism.
