Irreducibility and weak spectral gap in free product von Neumann algebras
Aldo Garcia Guinto, Fehmi Ekin Giritlioglu, Rahul Kumar R. +2
Consider a free product of non-trivial von Neumann algebras. Using amalgamated free product techniques, we establish irreducibility and weak spectral…
Almost unimodular groups
Aldo Garcia Guinto, Brent Nelson
We show that a locally compact group has open unimodular part if and only if the Plancherel weight on its group von Neumann algebra is almost periodic. We call such groups almost u…
On modular invariants of twisted group von Neumann algebras of almost unimodular groups
Aldo Garcia Guinto, Yuki Miyamoto
Given a locally compact second countable group with a 2-cocycle , we show that the restriction of the twisted Plancherel weight to the subalgebra generated by a c…
Projective representations of almost unimodular groups
Aldo Garcia Guinto
Given an almost unimodular , so that the Plancherel weight on the group von Neumann algebra is almost periodic, we show that the basic construction for the inclusi…
Murray-von Neumann dimension for strictly semifinite weights
Aldo Garcia Guinto, Matthew Lorentz, Brent Nelson
Given a von Neumann algebra equipped with a faithful normal strictly semifinite weight , we develop a notion of Murray-von Neumann dimension over that is defined f…
