Within the framework of free actions of compact quantum groups on unital C*-algebras, we propose two conjectures. The first one states that, if $\delta :A\to A{⨂}_{min}H$ is a free coaction of the C*-algebra H of a non-trivial compact quantum group on a unital C*-algebra A, then there is no H-equivariant *-homomorphism from A to the equivariant join C*-algebra $A{⊛}_{\delta }H$. For A being the C*-algebra of continuous functions on a sphere with the antipodal coaction of the C*-algebra of functions on ℤ/2ℤ, we recover the celebrated Borsuk-Ulam...

We present here two non-commutative situations where dynamical entropy estimates are possible. The first result is concerned with automorphisms of cross-products by an exact group that commute with the group action and generalizes the result known for amenable groups. The second is about continuous fields of C${}^{*}$-algebras and $C\left(X\right)$-automorphisms. Each result relies on explicit factorization via matrices.

We introduce noncommutative extensions of the Fourier transform of probability measures and its logarithm to the algebra (S) of complex-valued functions on the free semigroup S = FS(z,w) on two generators. First, to given probability measures μ, ν with all moments finite, we associate states μ̂, ν̂ on the unital free *-bialgebra (ℬ,ε,Δ) on two self-adjoint generators X,X’ and a projection P. Then we introduce and study cumulants which are additive under the convolution μ̂* ν̂ = μ̂ ⊗ ν̂ ∘ Δ when...

Let ℳ be a hyperfinite finite von Nemann algebra and ${\left({ℳ}_k\right)}_{k\ge 1}$ be an increasing filtration of finite-dimensional von Neumann subalgebras of ℳ. We investigate abstract fractional integrals associated to the filtration ${\left({ℳ}_k\right)}_{k\ge 1}$. For a finite noncommutative martingale $x={\left(x_k\right)}_{1\le k\le n}\subseteq L₁\left(ℳ\right)$ adapted to ${\left({ℳ}_k\right)}_{k\ge 1}$ and 0 < α < 1, the fractional integral of x of order α is defined by setting $I^{\alpha }x={\sum }_{k=1}^n{\zeta }_k^{\alpha }d{x}_k$ for an appropriate sequence ${\left({\zeta }_k\right)}_{k\ge 1}$ of scalars. For the case of a noncommutative dyadic martingale in L₁() where is the type II₁ hyperfinite factor equipped...

We generalize, to the setting of Arveson’s maximal subdiagonal subalgebras of finite von Neumann algebras, the Szegő $L^p$-distance estimate and classical theorems of F. and M. Riesz, Gleason and Whitney, and Kolmogorov. As a byproduct, this completes the noncommutative analog of the famous cycle of theorems characterizing the function algebraic generalizations of $H^{\infty }$ from the 1960’s. A sample of our other results: we prove a Kaplansky density result for a large class of these algebras, and give a necessary...

We show that if Y is the Hausdorffization of the primitive spectrum of a $C^{*}$-algebra $A$ then $A$ is $*$-isomorphic to the $C^{*}$-algebra of sections vanishing at infinity of the canonical $C^{*}$-bundle over $Y$.

This is an introductory paper about our recent merge of a noncommutative de Finetti type result with representations of the infinite braid and symmetric group which allows us to derive factorization properties from symmetries. We explain some of the main ideas of this approach and work out a constructive procedure to use in applications. Finally we illustrate the method by applying it to the theory of group characters.

We study Banach space properties of non-commutative martingale VMO-spaces associated with general von Neumann algebras. More precisely, we obtain a version of the classical Kadets-Pełczyński dichotomy theorem for subspaces of non-commutative martingale VMO-spaces. As application we prove that if ℳ is hyperfinite then the non-commutative martingale VMO-space associated with a filtration of finite-dimensional von Neumannn subalgebras of ℳ has property (u).

We introduce and study the noncommutative Orlicz spaces associated to a normal faithful state on a semifinite von Neumann algebra.

Poincaré’s classical recurrence theorem is generalised to the noncommutative setup where a measure space with a measure-preserving transformation is replaced by a von Neumann algebra with a weight and a Jordan morphism leaving the weight invariant. This is done by a suitable reformulation of the theorem in the language of $L^{\infty }$-space rather than the original measure space, thus allowing the replacement of the commutative von Neumann algebra $L^{\infty }$ by a noncommutative one.
