A random matrix approach to absorption in free products
Ben Hayes, David Jekel, Brent Nelson +1
This paper gives a free entropy theoretic perspective on amenable absorption results for free products of tracial von Neumann algebras. In particular, we give the first free entrop…
Maximal rigid subalgebras of deformations and -cohomology
Rolando de Santiago, Ben Hayes, Daniel J. Hoff +1
In the past two decades, Sorin Popa's breakthrough deformation/rigidity theory has produced remarkable rigidity results for von Neumann algebras which can be deformed inside a…
Harmonic Models and Bernoullicity
Ben Hayes
We give many examples of algebraic actions which are factors of Bernoulli shifts. These include certain harmonic models over left orderable groups of large enough growth, as well a…
Max-Min theorems for weak containment, square summable homoclinic points, and completely positive entropy
Ben Hayes
We prove a max-min theorem for weak containment in the context of algebraic actions. Namely, we show that given an algebraic action of on there is a maximal, closed -in…
