Geometry of oblique projections

E. Andruchow, Gustavo Corach, D. Stojanoff (1999)

Studia Mathematica

Let A be a unital C*-algebra. Denote by P the space of selfadjoint projections of A. We study the relationship between P and the spaces of projections P a determined by the different involutions a induced by positive invertible elements a ∈ A. The maps φ : P P a sending p to the unique q P a with the same range as p and Ω a : P a P a sending q to the unitary part of the polar decomposition of the symmetry 2q-1 are shown to be diffeomorphisms. We characterize the pairs of idempotents q,r ∈ A with ||q-r|| < 1 such that...

Graphs having no quantum symmetry

Teodor Banica, Julien Bichon, Gaëtan Chenevier (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We consider circulant graphs having p vertices, with p prime. To any such graph we associate a certain number k , that we call type of the graph. We prove that for p k the graph has no quantum symmetry, in the sense that the quantum automorphism group reduces to the classical automorphism group.

Group C*-algebras satisfying Kadison's conjecture

Rachid El Harti, Paulo R. Pinto (2011)

Banach Center Publications

We tackle R. V. Kadison’s similarity problem (i.e. any bounded representation of any unital C*-algebra is similar to a *-representation), paying attention to the class of C*-unitarisable groups (those groups G for which the full group C*-algebra C*(G) satisfies Kadison’s problem) and thereby we establish some stability results for Kadison’s problem. Namely, we prove that A m i n B inherits the similarity problem from those of the C*-algebras A and B, provided B is also nuclear. Then we prove that G/Γ is...

Groupes fondamentaux des variétés de dimension 3 et algèbres d’opérateurs

Pierre de la Harpe, Jean-Philippe Préaux (2007)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Nous proposons une caractérisation géométrique des variétés de dimension  3 ayant des groupes fondamentaux dont toutes les classes de conjugaison autres que  { 1 } sont infinies, c’est-à-dire dont les algèbres de von Neumann sont des facteurs de type  I I 1   : ce sont essentiellement les 3 -variétés à groupes fondamentaux infinis qui n’admettent pas de fibration de Seifert. Autrement dit et plus précisément, soient  M une 3 -variété connexe compacte et Γ son groupe fondamental, qu’on suppose être infini et avec...
