Modular Tensor Categories

There is a long-standing belief that the modular tensor categories [Formula: see text], for [Formula: see text] and finite-dimensional simple complex Lie algebras [Formula: see text], contain exceptional connected étale algebras (sometimes called quantum subgroups) at only finitely many levels [Formula: see text]. This premise has known implications for the study of relations in the Witt group of nondegenerate braided fusion categories, modular invariants of conformal field theories, and the classification of subfactors in the theory of von Neumann algebras. Here, we confirm this conjecture when [Formula: see text] has rank 2, contributing proofs and explicit bounds when [Formula: see text] is of type [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text], adding to the previously known positive results for types [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].

Compact Abelian Groups

We classify actions of discrete abelian groups on some inclusions of von Neumann algebras, up to cocycle conjugacy. As an application, we classify actions of compact abelian groups on the inclusions of approximately finite dimensional (AFD) factors of type II1 with index less than 4, up to stable conjugacy.

Conditional Expectations

AbstractIn this paper, we derive a new generalisation of the strong subadditivity of the entropy to the setting of general conditional expectations onto arbitrary finite-dimensional von Neumann algebras. This generalisation, referred to as approximate tensorization of the relative entropy, consists in a lower bound for the sum of relative entropies between a given density and its respective projections onto two intersecting von Neumann algebras in terms of the relative entropy between the same density and its projection onto an algebra in the intersection, up to multiplicative and additive constants. In particular, our inequality reduces to the so-called quasi-factorization of the entropy for commuting algebras, which is a key step in modern proofs of the logarithmic Sobolev inequality for classical lattice spin systems. We also provide estimates on the constants in terms of conditions of clustering of correlations in the setting of quantum lattice spin systems. Along the way, we show the equivalence between conditional expectations arising from Petz recovery maps and those of general Davies semigroups.

SynopsisWe consider automorphic actions on von Neumann algebras of a locally compact group E given as a topological extension 0 → A → E → G → 0, where A is compact abelian and second countable. Motivated by the wish to describe and classify ergodic actions of E when G is finite, we classify (up to conjugacy) first the ergodic actions of locally compact groups on finite-dimensional factors and then compact abelian actions with the property that the fixed-point algebra is of type I with atomic centre. We then handle the case of ergodic actions of E with the property that the action is already ergodic when restricted to A, and then, as a generalisation, the case of (not necessarily ergodic) actions of E with the property that the restriction to A is an action with abelian atomic fixed-point algebra. Both these cases are handled for general locally compact-countable G. Finally, we combine the obtained results to classify the ergodic actions of E when G is finite, provided that either the extension is central and Hom (G, T) = 0, or G is abelian and either cyclic or of an order not divisible by a square.

Remarkable Progress

The fact that any von Neumann algebra on a separable Hilbert space has an essentially unique direct integral decomposition into factors means that there is a global as well as a local aspect to any partial classification of von Neumann algebras. More precisely, suppose that J is a statement about von Neumann algebras which is either true or false for any given von Neumann algebra. Then a von Neumann algebra is said to satisfy J globally if it satisfies J, and to satsify J locally if almost all the factors appearing in some (and hence in any) central decomposition of it satisfy J . In a recent paper [3], H. Araki and E. J. Woods introduced the notion of the asymptotic ratio set of a factor, and by means of this they made remarkable progress in the classification of factors.

Cocycle Conjugacy

We classify, up to cocycle conjugacy, one-parameter automorphism groups on an approximately finite dimensional (AFD) factor ℳ of type III with trivial Connes spectrum. Our goal is to find the complete cocycle conjugacy invariants for one-parameter automorphism groups on ℳ. We also study the relations between the flow of weights of ℳ and that of the crossed product ℳ ⋊α ℝ of ℳ by a one-parameter automorphism group α with Γ(α) = {0}. Moreover, we also study model realizations. "Model realizations" means that given certain commutative data, they can be realized as the complete cocycle conjugacy invariants of centrally free and centrally ergodic one-parameter automorphism groups on some properly infinite AFD von Neumann algebras.

AbstractGiven a holomorphic Hilbertian bundle on a compact complex manifold, we introduce the notion of holomorphic L2 torsion, which lies in the determinant line of the twisted L2 Dolbeault cohomology and represents a volume element there. Here we utilise the theory of determinant lines of Hilbertian modules over finite von Neumann algebras as developed in [CFM]. This specialises to the Ray-Singer-Quillen holomorphic torsion in the finite dimensional case. We compute ametric variation formula for the holomorphic L2 torsion, which shows that it is not in general independent of the choice of Hermitian metrics on the complex manifold and on the holomorphic Hilbertian bundle, which are needed to define it. We therefore initiate the theory of correspondences of determinant lines, that enables us to define a relative holomorphic L2 torsion for a pair of flat Hilbertian bundles, which we prove is independent of the choice of Hermitian metrics on the complex manifold and on the flat Hilbertian bundles.
