On the duality of local observables
Ozawa showed in [21] that for any i.c.c. hyperbolic group, the associated group factor is solid. Developing a new approach that combines some methods of Peterson [29], Ozawa and Popa [27, 28], and Ozawa [25], we strengthen this result by showing that is strongly solid. Using our methods in cooperation with a cocycle superrigidity result of Ioana [12], we show that profinite actions of lattices in , , are virtually -superrigid.
The Tomita-Takesaki Theory is very complex and can be contemplated from different points of view. In the decade 1970-1980 several approaches to it appeared, each one seeking to attain more transparency. One of them was the paper of S. L. Woronowicz "Operator systems and their application to the Tomita-Takesaki theory" that appeared in 1979. Woronowicz's approach allows a particularly precise insight into the nature of the Tomita-Takesaki Theory and in this paper we present a brief, but fairly detailed...
