Tracial approximation and ${\cal Z}$-stability

Abstract

Let $A$ be a unital separable non-elementary amenable simple stably finite C*-algebra such that its tracial state space has a $σ$-compact countable-dimensional extremal boundary. We show that $A$ is ${\cal Z}$-stable if and only if it has strict comparison and stable rank one. We show that this result also holds for non-unital cases (which may not be Morita equivalent to unital ones).

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.

On Generators for $W^{*}$-bundles

We give an explicit example of a $W^{*}$-bundle $M$ over a compact, metrizable space $K$, which has each fiber $M_{p}$ a $\textrm{II}_{1}$-factor with separable predual, and which satisfies the following negation of the generator problem: given any finite family $a_{1},\cdots,a_{n}\in M$ of continuous sections, there is a $p\in K$ (depending upon that family) so that $a_{1,p},\cdots,a_{n,p}$ do not generate $M_{p}$ as a von Neumann algebra. More generally, if $N$ is a sub-bundle of $M$ with the property that each fiber is hyperfinite, or has a Cartan, or is generated by two commuting diffuse subalgebras, or has diffuse central sequence algebra, or is generated by a single sequential commutation orbit, then given any finite family $a_{1},\cdots,a_{n}\in M$ of continuous sections, there is a $p\in K$ (depending upon that family) so that $a_{1,p},\cdots,a_{n,p}$ together with $N_{p}$ do not generate $M_{p}$. We discuss implications for the generator problem for von Neumann algebras: e.g. there is no ``continuous" way to take countably many generators for a tracial von Neumann algebra with separable predual and produce a single generator, at least if such a procedure works for all von Neumann algebras simultaneously.

The Operator Daugavet Property in Semifinite Noncommutative $L_1$-Spaces

Let $\mathcal M$ be a diffuse semifinite von Neumann algebra endowed with a faithful normal semifinite trace $τ$. We prove that, for every nonzero Banach space $Y$, the projective tensor product $L_1(\mathcal M,τ)\widehat{\otimes}_πY$ has the operator Daugavet property. Moreover, the witnessing operators may always be chosen contractive. This extends the operator Daugavet phenomenon from atomless vector-valued $L_1$-spaces to the semifinite noncommutative setting and yields further Daugavet-type consequences for projective symmetric tensor products, all without approximation assumptions.
