Abstract

Boris Tsirelson constructed an uncountable family of type III product systems of Hilbert spaces through the theory of Gausian spaces, measure type spaces and `slightly coloured noises', using techniques from probability theory. Here we take a purely functional analytic approach and try to have a better understanding of Tsireleson's construction and his examples. We prove an extension of Shale's theorem connecting symplectic group and Weyl representation. We show that the `Shale map' respects compositions (This settles an old conjecture of K. R. Parthasarathy). Using this we associate a product system to a sum system. This construction includes the exponential product system of Arveson, as a trivial case, and the type III examples of Tsirelson. By associating a von Neumann algebra to every `elementary set' in [0,1], in a much simpler and direct way, we arrive at the invariants of the product system introduced by Tsirelson, given in terms of the sum system. Then we introduce a notion of divisibility for a sum system, and prove that the examples of Tsirelson are divisible. It is shown that only type I and type III product systems arise out of divisible sum systems. Finally, we give a sufficient condition for a divisible sum system to give rise to a unitless (type III) product system.

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.
