We study the $t$-deformation of gaussian von Neumann algebras. They appear as example in the theories of Interacting Fock spaces and conditionally free products. When the number of generators is fixed, it is proved that if $t$ is sufficiently close to $1$, then these algebras do not depend on $t$. In the same way, the notion of conditionally free von Neumann algebras often coincides with freeness.

We consider the unitary group U of complex, separable, infinite-dimensional Hilbert space as a discrete group. It is proved that, whenever U acts by isometries on a metric space, every orbit is bounded. Equivalently, U is not the union of a countable chain of proper subgroups, and whenever E ⊆ U generates U, it does so by words of a fixed finite length.

It is well known that in a free group , one has $\left|\right|{\chi }_E{\left|\right|}_{M_{cb}A\left(\right)}\le 2$, where E is the set of all the generators. We show that the (completely) bounded multiplier norm of any set satisfying the Leinert condition depends only on its cardinality. Consequently, based on a result of Wysoczański, we obtain a formula for $\left|\right|{\chi }_E{\left|\right|}_{M_{cb}A\left(\right)}$.

We prove a conjecture of Wojtaszczyk that for 1 ≤ p < ∞, p ≠ 2, $H_p\left(\right)$ does not admit any norm one projections with dimension of the range finite and greater than 1. This implies in particular that for 1 ≤ p < ∞, p ≠ 2, $H_p$ does not admit a Schauder basis with constant one.
