Ulam stability for classes of nuclear C*-algebras

Vadim Alekseev, Ilijas Farah, Andreas Thom

We study Ulam stability for approximate *-homomorphisms of C*-algebras. We prove stability results for several classes of nuclear C*-algebras with respect to von Neumann algebra ta…

Cubic maps from the group of order

Vadim Alekseev, Andreas Thom

The purpose of this note is to classify unital cubic maps from the cyclic group of order into an arbitrary non-abelian group. We show that the universal group admitting a unita…

Geometric property (T) for box spaces and sofic approximations

Vadim Alekseev, Stefan Drigalla

We prove that every sofic approximation of a property (T) group is approximately isomorphic to one having geometric property (T), and more generally, a box space of graphs which ha…

Amenability for unitary groups of C*-algebras

Vadim Alekseev, Max Schmidt, Andreas Thom

In this note we state a conjecture that characterizes unital C*-algebras for which the unitary group is amenable as a topological group in the norm topology. We prove the conjectur…

Maximal amenable subgroups of arithmetic groups

Vadim Alekseev, Alessandro Carderi

By classifying -maximal amenable subgroups of algebraic groups over a global field of characteristic zero, we obtain a complete classification of maximal amenable subgroups up t…

Maximal discrete subgroups in unitary groups of operator algebras

Vadim Alekseev, Andreas Thom

We show that if a group G is mixed-identity-free, then the projective unitary group of its group von Neumann algebra contains a maximal discrete subgroup containing G. The proofs a…

Sofic boundaries and a-T-menability

Vadim Alekseev, Leonardo Biz

We undertake a systematic study of the approximation properties of the topological and measurable versions of the coarse boundary groupoid associated to a sequence of finite graphs…

Representation theory of topological full groups of étale groupoids and paradoxicality

Vadim Alekseev, Martin Finn-Sell

We provide a unified treatment of several results concerning full groups of ample groupoids and paradoxical decompositions attached to them. This includes a criterion for the full…

A rigidity result for normalized subfactors

Vadim Alekseev, Rahel Brugger

We show a rigidity result for subfactors that are normalized by a representation of a lattice in a higher rank simple Lie group with trivial center into a finite factor. This i…

Uniqueness questions for C*-norms on group rings

Vadim Alekseev, David Kyed

We provide a large class of discrete amenable groups for which the complex group ring has several C*-completions, thus providing partial evidence towards a positive answer to a que…

On invariant random positive definite functions

Vadim Alekseev, Rahel Brugger

We give the definition of an invariant random positive definite function on a discrete group, generalizing both the notion of an invariant random subgroup and a character. We use v…

Sofic boundaries of groups and coarse geometry of sofic approximations

Vadim Alekseev, Martin Finn-Sell

Sofic groups generalise both residually finite and amenable groups, and the concept is central to many important results and conjectures in measured group theory. We introduce a to…

Non-amenable principal groupoids with weak containment

Vadim Alekseev, Martin Finn-Sell

We construct examples of principal groupoids that have weak containment but are not amenable, thus answering questions by Claire Anantharaman-Delaroche and Rufus Willett.

Quadratic Modules, C*-Algebras, and Free Convexity

Vadim Alekseev, Tim Netzer, Andreas Thom

Given a quadratic module, we construct its universal C*-algebra, and then use methods and notions from the theory of C*-algebras to study the quadratic module. We define residually…

On the first continuous -cohomology of free group factors

Vadim Alekseev

We prove that the first continuous -cohomology of free group factors vanishes. This answers a question by Andreas Thom regarding continuity properties of free difference quoti…

Measure continuous derivations on von Neumann algebras and applications to L^2-cohomology

Vadim Alekseev, David Kyed

We prove that norm continuous derivations from a von Neumann algebra into the algebra of operators affiliated with its tensor square are automatically continuous for both the stron…

Amenability and vanishing of L^2-Betti numbers: an operator algebraic approach

Vadim Alekseev, David Kyed

We recast the Foelner condition in an operator algebraic setting and prove that it implies a certain dimension flatness property. Furthermore, it is proven that the Foelner conditi…
