Abstract

A quantized metric space is a matrix order unit space equipped with an operator space version of Rieffel's Lip-norm. We develop for quantized metric spaces an operator space version of quantum Gromov-Hausdorff distance. We show that two quantized metric spaces are completely isometric if and only if their quantized Gromov-Hausdorff distance is zero. We establish a completeness theorem. As applications, we show that a quantized metric space with 1-exact underlying matrix order unit space is a limit of matrix algebras with respect to quantized Gromov-Hausdorff distance, and that matrix algebras converge naturally to the sphere for quantized Gromov-Hausdorff distance.

Set-theoretic absoluteness for analysts and separable \cstar-algebras without Choice

Basic theory of separable C*-algebras can be developed without the Axiom of Choice, and it does not depend on the Continuum Hypothesis, Martin's Axiom, and other standard set-theoretic assumptions. This can be proved in two ways. First, by showing that the standard proofs do not require Choice. Second, by utilizing set-theoretic absoluteness theorems. We provide an introduction to projective complexity and absoluteness for analysts. We also give some limiting examples consistent with ZF, such as a commutative \cstar-algebra concretely represented on a Hilbert space but not isomorphic to $C(X)$ for any compact Hausdorff space $X$ and whose state space is not compact and has no extreme points.

Schur Multipliers with Unequal Operator and Completely Bounded Norms on $S_p$, $1<p\ne 2<\infty $

For every $1<p\neq2<\infty$, we exhibit an explicit Schur multiplier on $S_p$ whose operator norm is strictly smaller than its completely bounded norm. More precisely, for each such $p$, we construct a finitely supported Schur symbol $m_p$ such that \[ \|M_{m_p}\|_{p\to p} < \|M_{m_p}\|_{\mathrm{cb},p}. \] This answers the question raised by Lafforgue and de la Salle in 2011 after their Conjecture~1.8 and gives an affirmative answer to Statement~2 in Section~5 of Caspers and Wildschut (2019). In particular, it disproves Statement~3 of Caspers and Wildschut (2019) throughout the same range of exponents.

Stationary states on a $C^*$-algebra for an inner action

We study stationary states for actions of countable discrete groups on unital separable $C^*$-algebras. We prove that the stationary state space associated with an inner action of a subgroup of the unitary group that generates the algebra is a Choquet simplex. We also give a locality criterion covering Bernoulli shifts. The simplex structure yields a canonical decomposition of stationary states into tracial and purely nontracial parts. For inner actions, we characterize extreme stationary states by factoriality of their GNS von Neumann algebras. We further show that a stationary state is tracial if and only if its GNS von Neumann algebra is finite, and that it is purely nontracial if and only if this algebra is of type~$\mathrm{III}$. As applications, for $2\leq d\leq\infty$ the stationary state simplex of $C^*(\mathbb{F}_d)$ has a Poulsen face, while for a nontrivial property~$(T)$ group the stationary state simplex of $C^*(Γ)$ is not Poulsen. Finally, we give a sufficient spectral-gap condition for $S_μ(A)$ to be a Bauer simplex and construct a family $(A_d,Γ_d,μ_d)$ satisfying this condition.
