Abstract

Free cumulants are multilinear functionals defined in terms of the moment functional with the use of the family of lattices of noncrossing partitions. In the univariate case, they can be identified with the coefficients of the Voiculescu transform of the moment functional which plays a role similar to that of the logarithm of the Fourier transform. The associated linearization property is connected with free independence. In turn, the family of much smaller lattices of interval partitions is used to define Boolean cumulants connected with Boolean independence. In order to bridge the gap between these two families of lattices and the associated cumulants we introduce and study the family of lattices of noncrossing partitions adapted to Motzkin paths and define the associated operator-valued `Motzkin cumulants'. We prove the corresponding Möbius inversion formula which plays the role of a lattice refinement of the formula expressing free cumulants in terms of Boolean cumulants. We apply this concept to free probability and obtain the additive decomposition of free cumulants in terms of scalar-valued counterparts of Motzkin cumulants.

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.
