The Koopman Representation and Positive Rokhlin Entropy

In this paper, we study connections between positive entropy phenomena and the Koopman representation for actions of general countable groups. Following the line of work initiated by Hayes for sofic entropy, we show in a certain precise manner that all positive entropy must come from portions of the Koopman representation that embed into the left-regular representation. We conclude that for actions having completely positive outer entropy, the Koopman representation must be isomorphic to the countable direct sum of the left-regular representation. This generalizes a theorem of Dooley–Golodets for countable amenable groups. As a final consequence, we observe that actions with completely positive outer entropy must be mixing, and when the group is non-amenable they must be strongly ergodic and have spectral gap.

Stationary characters on lattices of semisimple Lie groups

We show that stationary characters on irreducible lattices $\Gamma < G$ Γ < G of higher-rank connected semisimple Lie groups are conjugation invariant, that is, they are genuine characters. This result has several applications in representation theory, operator algebras, ergodic theory and topological dynamics. In particular, we show that for any such irreducible lattice $\Gamma < G$ Γ < G , the left regular representation $\lambda _{\Gamma }$ λ Γ is weakly contained in any weakly mixing representation $\pi $ π . We prove that for any such irreducible lattice $\Gamma < G$ Γ < G , any Uniformly Recurrent Subgroup (URS) of $\Gamma $ Γ is finite, answering a question of Glasner–Weiss. We also obtain a new proof of Peterson’s character rigidity result for irreducible lattices $\Gamma < G$ Γ < G . The main novelty of our paper is a structure theorem for stationary actions of lattices on von Neumann algebras.

On finite dual Cayley graphs

A Cayley graph \Gamma on a group G is called a dual Cayley graph on G if the left regular representation of G is a subgroup of the automorphism group of \Gamma (note that the right regular representation of G is always an automorphism group of \Gamma ). In this article, we study finite dual Cayley graphs regarding identification, construction, transitivity and such graphs with automorphism groups as small as possible. A few problems worth further research are also proposed.

Topological Grading of Semigroup C*-Algebras

The paper deals with the abelian cancellative semigroups and the reduced semigroup C*-algebras. It is supposed that there exist epimorphisms from the semigroups onto the group of integers modulo n. For these semigroups we study the structure of the reduced semigroup C*-algebras which are also called the Toeplitz algebras. Such a C*-algebra can be defined for any non-abelian left cancellative semigroup. It is a very natural object in the category of C*-algebras because this algebra is generated by the left regular representation of a semigroup. In the paper, by a given epimorphism σ we construct the grading of a semigroup C*-algebra. To this aim the notion of the σ-index of a monomial is introduced. This notion is the main tool in the construction of the grading. We make use of the σ-index to define the linear independent closed subspaces in the semigroup C*-algebra. These subspaces constitute the C*-algebraic bundle, or the Fell bundle, over the group of integers modulo n. Moreover, it is shown that this grading of the reduced semigroup C*-algebra is topological. As a corollary, we obtain the existence of the contractive linear operators that are non-commutative analogs of the Fourier coefficients. Using these operators, we prove the result on the geometry of the underlying Banach space of the semigroup C*-algebra

Left Regular Representation of Gyrogroups

In this article, we examine a subspace L gyr ( G ) of the complex vector space, L ( G ) = { f : f is a function from G to C } , where G is a nonassociative group-like structure called a gyrogroup. The space L gyr ( G ) arises as a representation space for G associated with the left regular representation, consisting of complex-valued functions invariant under certain permutations of G. In the case when G is finite, we prove that dim ( L gyr ( G ) ) = 1 | γ ( G ) | ∑ ρ ∈ γ ( G ) | Fix ( ρ ) | , where γ ( G ) is the subgroup of Sym ( G ) generated by a class of permutations of G and Fix ( ρ ) = { a ∈ G : ρ ( a ) = a } .

Characteristic subgroup lattices and Hopf–Galois structures

The Hopf–Galois structures on normal field extensions [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] are in one-to-one correspondence with the set of regular subgroups [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], the group of permutations of [Formula: see text] as a set, that are normalized by the left regular representation [Formula: see text]. Each such [Formula: see text] corresponds to a Hopf algebra [Formula: see text] that acts on [Formula: see text]. Such regular subgroups need not be isomorphic to [Formula: see text] but must have the same order. One can divide all such [Formula: see text] into collections [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the set of those regular [Formula: see text] normalized by [Formula: see text] and isomorphic to a given abstract group [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text]. There exists an injective correspondence between the characteristic subgroups of a given [Formula: see text] and the set of subgroups of [Formula: see text] stemming from the Galois correspondence between sub-Hopf algebras of [Formula: see text] and intermediate fields [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text]. We utilize this correspondence to show that for certain pairs [Formula: see text], the collection [Formula: see text] must be empty. This also shows that for these [Formula: see text], there do not exist skew braces with additive group isomorphic to [Formula: see text] and circle group isomorphic to [Formula: see text].

A COMPACT QUALITATIVE UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE FOR SOME NONUNIMODULAR GROUPS

Let $G$ be a separable locally compact group with type $I$ left regular representation, $\widehat{G}$ its dual, $A(G)$ its Fourier algebra and $f\in A(G)$ with compact support. If $G=\mathbb{R}$ and the Fourier transform of $f$ is compactly supported, then, by a classical Paley–Wiener theorem, $f=0$. There are extensions of this theorem for abelian and some unimodular groups. In this paper, we prove that if $G$ has no (nonempty) open compact subsets, $\hat{f}$, the regularised Fourier cotransform of $f$, is compactly supported and $\text{Im}\,\hat{f}$ is finite dimensional, then $f=0$. In connection with this result, we characterise locally compact abelian groups whose identity components are noncompact.

On Group Von Neumann Algebras with Vector-Valued Functions

Let G be a locally compact group equipped with a normalized Haar measure , A(G) the Fourier algebraof G and V N(G) the von Neumann algebra generated by the left regular representation of G. In this paper, we introduce the space V N(G;A) associated with the Fourier algebra A(G;A) for vector-valued functions on G, where A is a H-algebra. Some basic properties are discussed in the category of Banach space, and alsoin the category of operator space.

L p {L_{p}} -representations of discrete quantum groups

Given a locally compact quantum group {\mathbb{G}} , we define and study representations and {\mathrm{C}^{\ast}} -completions of the convolution algebra {L_{1}(\mathbb{G})} associated with various linear subspaces of the multiplier algebra {C_{b}(\mathbb{G})} . For discrete quantum groups {\mathbb{G}} , we investigate the left regular representation, amenability and the Haagerup property in this framework. When {\mathbb{G}} is unimodular and discrete, we study in detail the {\mathrm{C}^{\ast}} -completions of {L_{1}(\mathbb{G})} associated with the non-commutative {L_{p}} -spaces {L_{p}(\mathbb{G})} . As an application of this theory, we characterize (for each {p\in[1,\infty)} ) the positive definite functions on unimodular orthogonal and unitary free quantum groups {\mathbb{G}} that extend to states on the {L_{p}} - {\mathrm{C}^{\ast}} -algebra of {\mathbb{G}} . Using this result, we construct uncountably many new examples of exotic quantum group norms for compact quantum groups.
