Abstract

We study the complex powers $A^{z}$ of an elliptic, strictly positive pseudodifferential operator $A$ using an axiomatic method that combines the approaches of Guillemin and Seeley. In particular, we introduce a class of algebras, ``extended Weyl algebras,'' whose definition was inspired by Guillemin's paper on the subject. An extended Weyl algebra can be thought of as an algebra of ``abstract pseudodifferential operators.'' Many algebras of pseudodifferential operators are extended Weyl algebras. Several results typical for algebras of pseudodifferential operators (asymptotic completeness, construction of Sobolev spaces, boundedness between apropriate Sobolev spaces, >...) generalize to extended Weyl algebras. Most important, our results may be used to obtain precise estimates at infinity for $A^{z}$, when $A > 0 $ is elliptic and defined on a non-compact manifold, provided that a suitable ideal of regularizing operators is specified (a submultiplicative $Ψ^*$--algebra). We shall use these results in a forthcoming paper to study pseudodifferential operators and Sobolev spaces on manifolds with a Lie structure at infinity (a certain class of non-compact manifolds).

Property (T) group factors whose Jones index set equals all positive integers

Using a mélange of techniques at the rich intersection of deformation/rigidity theory, finite index subfactor theory, and geometric group theory, we prove the existence of a continuum of property (T) factors that are pairwise non-stably isomorphic and whose Jones index sets consist of all positive integers. These factors are realized as group von Neumann algebras $\mathcal{L}(G)$ associated with property (T) generalized wreath-like product groups $G \in \mathscr{WR}(A, B \curvearrowright I)$ introduced in [CIOS23b], where $A$ is abelian, $B$ is a non-parabolic subgroup of a relatively hyperbolic group with residually finite peripheral structure, and $B \curvearrowright I$ is a faithful action with infinite orbits. Integer index subfactors of $\mathcal{L}(G)$ are constructed from extensions of $G$. This result advances an open question of P. de la Harpe [dlH95].

Algebraic topology of $C^*$-algebras

Any $C^*$-algebra can be regarded as a generalization of locally compact, Hausdorff topological space $\mathcal X$. From the commutative Gelfand-Na\uımark theorem it follows that the spectrum of any commutative $C^*$-algebra is a locally compact, Hausdorff space which have the exact information about the $C^*$-algebra. Here we consider a Gelfand spaces of $C^*$-algebras which can be regarded as a generalization of the spectrum. In case of commutative $C^*$-algebras the Gelfand space coincides with the spectrum. Generally Gelfand spaces are not Hausdorff and provide more detailed information of noncommutative $C^*$-algebras. Usage of Gelfand spaces of $C^*$-algebra enables us to define some $C^*$-algebraic analogs of several notions of the classical algebraic topology, e.g. fundamental group, cohomology, multiplicative structure of $K$-theory and Adams operations. Application of the Gelfand spaces yields a generalization of Dixmier-Douady theory. Also Gelfand space provides interoperability between topological invariants and quantum logic.

UCP Maps on Finite Toeplitz Systems

We study unital completely positive (UCP) maps on the finite Toeplitz operator system $\mathcal T_d$ of $d \times d$ Toeplitz matrices. We give an explicit characterization of pure UCP maps on $\mathcal T_d$ taking values in $M_n$ in terms of positive $n\times n$ matrix-valued trigonometric polynomials of degree at most $d-1$. This characterization yields a checkable criterion for deciding whether a given UCP map is pure. As an application, we prove that every pure UCP map on $\mathcal T_d$ has a unique completely positive extension to the generated $C^*$-algebra.
