Classification of Noncommuting Quadrilaterals of Factors

A quadrilateral of factors is an irreducible inclusion of factors $N \subset M$ with intermediate subfactors $P$ and $Q$ such that $P$ and $Q$ generate $M$ and the intersection of $P$ and $Q$ is $N$. We investigate the structure of a non-commuting quadrilateral of factors with all the elementary inclusions $P\subset M$, $Q\subset M$, $N\subset P$, and $N\subset Q$ 2-supertransitive. In particular we classify such quadrilaterals with the indices of the elementary subfactors less than or equal to 4. We also compute the angles between $P$ and $Q$ for quadrilaterals coming from $α$-induction and asymptotic inclusions.

A perturbation problem for the shift semigroup

Motivated by B. Tsirelson's construction of $E_0$-semigroups of type III, we investigate a $C_0$-semigroup acting on the space of square integrable functions of the half line whose difference from the shift semigroup is a Hilbert-Schmidt operator. We give a description of such semigroups in terms of analytic functions on the right-half plane and construct several examples.

KMS states and branched points

We completely classify the KMS states for the gauge action on a $C^*$-algebra associated with a rational function $R$ introduced in our previous work. The gauge action has a phase transition at $β= \log °R$. We can recover the degree of $R$, the number of branched points, the number of exceptional points and the orbits of exceptional points from the structure of the KMS states. We also classify the KMS states for $C^*$-algebras associated with some self-similar sets, including the full tent map and the Sierpinski gasket by a similar method.

The ratio set of the harmonic measure of a random walk on a hyperbolic group

We consider the harmonic measure on the Gromov boundary of a nonamenable hyperbolic group defined by a finite range random walk on the group, and study the corresponding orbit equivalence relation on the boundary. It is known to be always amenable and of type III. We determine its ratio set by showing that it is generated by certain values of the Martin kernel. In particular, we show that the equivalence relation is never of type III_0.

Poisson boundary of the dual of SUq(n)

We prove that for any non-trivial product-type action of SUq(n) (0<q<1) on an ITPFI factor N, the relative commutant of the fixed point algebra in N is isomorphic to the algebra of bounded measurable functions on the quantum flag manifold. This is equivalent to the computation of the Poisson boundary of the dual discrete quantum group. The proof relies on a connection between the Poisson integral and the Berezin transform. Our main technical result says that a sequence of Berezin transforms defined by a random walk on the dominant weights of SU(n) converges to the identity on the quantum flag manifold. This is a q-analogue of some known results on quantization of coadjoint orbits of Lie groups.

Inclusions of simple $C^*$-algebras

We prove that if a conditional expectation from a simple $C^*$-algebra onto its $C^*$-subalgebra satisfies the Pimsner-Popa inequality, there exists a quasi-basis. As an application, we establish the Galois correspondence for outer actions of finite groups (and more generally finite dimensional Kac algebras) on simple $C^*$-algebras. We also introduce the notion of sectors for stable simple $C^*$-algebras and purely infinite simple $C^*$-algebras in the Cuntz standard form, and discuss several applications, including their relationship to $K$-theory.

Canonical extension of endomorphisms of type III factors

We extend the notion of the canonical extension of automorphisms of type III factors to the case of endomorphisms with finite statistical dimensions. Following the automorphism case, we introduce two notions for endomorphisms of type III factors: modular endomorphisms and Connes-Takesaki modules. Several applications to compact groups of automorphisms and subfactors of type III factors are given from the viewpoint of ergodic theory.

A Galois Correspondence for Compact Groups of Automorphisms of von Neumann Algebras with a Generalization to Kac Algebras

Let $M$ be a factor with separable predual and $G$ a compact group of automorphisms of $M$ whose action is minimal, i.e. $M^{G^\prime}\cap M = C$, where $M^G$ denotes the $G$-fixed point subalgebra. Then every intemediate von Neumann algebra $M^G\subset N\subset M$ has the form $N=M^H$ for some closed subgroup $H$ of $G$. An extension of this result to the case of actions of compact Kac algebras on factors is also presented. No assumptions are made on the existence of a normal conditional expectation onto $N$.
