Abstract

Bringing forward the concept of convergence in moments from classical random variables to quantum random variables is what leads to what can be called algebraic central limit theorem for (classical and) quantum random variables. I reflect in a very personal way how such an idea is typical for the spirit of doing research in mathematics as I learned it in Wilhelm von Waldenfels's research group in Heidelberg.

Simplicity of reduced crossed products

We characterize the simplicity of reduced crossed product C*-algebras in terms of stabilizer subgroups. Specifically, we prove that if $G$ is a countable group and $X$ is a minimal $G$-flow, then the reduced crossed product C*-algebra $\mathrm{C}(X) \times_λG$ is simple if and only if there is a point in $X$ with a C*-simple stabilizer subgroup. Further, these conditions are equivalent to a generic point in $X$ having a C*-simple stabilizer subgroup. We also provide an example demonstrating that this result does not extend to uncountable groups. This completely resolves a question of Ozawa.

$\mathrm{C}^*$-selflessness of vigorous groups

We prove that countable groups which admit a faithful piecewise minimal-extremely-proximal action on the Cantor set are $\mathrm{C}^*$-selfless. In particular, topological full groups of second countable, Hausdorff, minimal, purely infinite, topologically principal, ample groupoids with compact unit spaces are $\mathrm{C}^*$-selfless. Examples include the Higman--Thompson groups and the Brin--Thompson groups.

A computable wandering and tracelike vector for modular orbits in the Bergman space

We construct a function $Φ$ such that the orbit under the representation of PSL(2,Z) is an orthonormal basis for the Bergman space with weight $α=12$. Moreover, we show that $Φ$ is effectively computable as a holomorphic function on the upper half-plane (in the precise sense of computable analysis), by providing an effective procedure. This constructs a wandering and tracelike vector for PSL(2,Z), whose abstract existence was proved by Sir Vaughan Jones in his last paper, where the corresponding construction was left as a problem. The function is built using an orthonormalization and modularization method, and it displays modular reminiscencies, despite not being modular itself. provides a computable implementing vector for the abstract anti-isomorphism between the von Neumann algebra $M_{12}(Γ)$ and its commutant, which is generated, in Rădulescu's sense, by cusp-form Toeplitz operators, while Voiculescu's results provide a random matrix model for $M_{12}(Γ)$.
