Abstract

Let $1 < p < \infty$. It is shown that if $G$ is a discrete group with the approximation property introduced by Haagerup and Kraus, then the non-commutative $L_p(VN(G))$ space has the operator space approximation property. If, in addition, the group von Neumann algebra $VN(G)$ has the QWEP, i.e. is a quotient of a $C^*$-algebra with Lance's weak expectation property, then $L_p(VN(G))$ actually has the completely contractive approximation property and the approximation maps can be chosen to be finite-rank completely contractive multipliers on $L_p(VN(G))$. Finally, we show that if $G$ is a countable discrete group having the approximation property and $VN(G)$ has the QWEP, then $L_p(VN(G))$ has a very nice local structure, i.e. it is a $\mathcal C\OL_p$ space and has a completely bounded Schauder basis.

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.
