An Algebraic Duality Theory for Multiplicative Unitaries

Abstract

Multiplicative Unitaries are described in terms of a pair of commuting shifts of relative depth two. They can be generated from ambidextrous Hilbert spaces in a tensor C*-category. The algebraic analogue of the Takesaki-Tatsuuma Duality Theorem characterizes abstractly C*-algebras acted on by unital endomorphisms that are intrinsically related to the regular representation of a multiplicative unitary. The relevant C*-algebras turn out to be simple and indeed separable if the corresponding multiplicative unitaries act on a separable Hilbert space. A categorical analogue provides internal characterizations of minimal representation categories of a multiplicative unitary. Endomorphisms of the Cuntz algebra related algebraically to the grading are discussed as is the notion of braided symmetry in a tensor C*-category.

Pointwise convergence of noncommutative discrete spherical ergodic averages

In this paper, we establish spherical maximal inequalities associated with commuting trace-preserving automorphisms on von Neumann algebras, extending Magyar-Stein-Wainger's discrete spherical maximal inequalities to the noncommutative setting. On a noncommutative probability space, we further prove that, under a strong ergodicity assumption, the corresponding discrete spherical averages converge bilaterally almost uniformly to $τ(x)1$ for every $x\in L_p(\mathcal M)$, $\frac{d}{d-2}<p\leq\infty$, when $d\geq5$.

Values of Rokhlin Dimension for Integer Actions

For an action of the integers on a C*-algebra, we show that the only possible values for the Rokhlin dimension (with commuting towers) are $0,1,2$ and $+\infty$. We study these values for certain classes of C*-algebras, and show that there is an automorphism of the Jiang--Su algebra with the property that its Rokhlin dimension with and without commuting towers are distinct.

Algebras, Kernels and Correspondences

This is a nearly complete draft of our paper in which we attempt to do three things. First, we show that when formulated in the context of reproducing kernel correspondences over Rieffel's category, Normod-$M$, the Kolmogorov decomposition/representation theorem of Ball, Marx, and Vinnikov is functorial in $M$. Second, we investigate relations between our work and the work of Clouâtre and Hartz concerning multipliers of reproducing kernels. This investigation leads to interesting questions about the geometry of the matricial unit disc associated with a correspondence over $M$. And third, we describe how some of the recent work of Salomon, Shalit and Shamovich may be formulated in our setting. This leads to the notion of subvarieties, their quotients, and their relation with the structure of reproducing correspondences.
