Abstract

We introduce the trivial intersection property for concrete operator spaces and we show that a unital space with this property has no nontrivial boundary ideals. We provide various examples of such spaces, among which are strongly reflexive masa bimodules and completely distributive CSL algebras. We show that unital operator spaces acting on $\ell^2(Γ)$ for any set $Γ$, that contain the masa $\ell^\infty(Γ)$, possess the trivial intersection property, and we use this to prove that a unital surjective complete isometry between such spaces is a unitary equivalence. Then, we apply these results to $w^*$-closed $\ell^\infty(G)$-bimodules acting on $\ell^2(G)$ for a group $G$ and we relate them to algebraic properties of $G$.

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 $M_{12}(Γ)$.
