Abstract

We describe the structure of the inclusions of factors A(E) contained in A(E')' associated with multi-intervals E of R for a local irreducible net A of von Neumann algebras on the real line satisfying the split property and Haag duality. In particular, if the net is conformal and the subfactor has finite index, the inclusion associated with two separated intervals is isomorphic to the Longo-Rehren inclusion, which provides a quantum double construction of the tensor category of superselection sectors of A. As a consequence, the index of A(E) in A(E')' coincides with the global index associated with all irreducible sectors, the braiding symmetry associated with all sectors is non-degenerate, namely the representations of A form a modular tensor category, and every sector is a direct sum of sectors with finite dimension. The superselection structure is generated by local data. The same results hold true if conformal invariance is replaced by strong additivity and there exists a modular PCT symmetry.

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.
