Negative definite functions for C*-dynamical systems
Erik Bedos, Roberto Conti
Given an action of a discrete group on a unital C*-algebra , we introduce a natural concept of -negative definiteness for functions from to , and examine some…
The Homflypt polynomial and the oriented Thompson group
Valeriano Aiello, Roberto Conti, Vaughan F. R. Jones
We show how to construct unitary representations of the oriented Thompson group from oriented link invariants. In particular we show that the suitably normalised HOMFLYPT…
A look at the inner structure of the -adic ring -algebra and its automorphism groups
Valeriano Aiello, Roberto Conti, Stefano Rossi
We undertake a systematic study of the so-called -adic ring -algebra . This is the universal -algebra generated by a unitary and an isometry s…
The Jones polynomial and functions of positive type on the oriented Jones-Thompson groups and
Valeriano Aiello, Roberto Conti
The pioneering work of Jones and Kauffman unveiled a fruitful relationship between statistical mechanics and knot theory. Recently, Jones introduced two subgroups and $\v…
