Colloquium
Adrian Ioana, UC San Diego, will be speaking.
The presentation title is "Classification and rigidity for group von Neumann algebras."
Contact Aaron D Levin for more information.
Any countable group G gives rise to a von Neumann algebra L(G). The classification of these group von Neumann algebras is a central theme in operator algebras. I will survey recent rigidity results which provide instances when various algebraic properties of groups, such as the presence or absence of a direct product decomposition, are remembered by their von Neumann algebras. I will also explain the strongest such rigidity results, where L(G) completely remembers G, and discuss some of the open problems in the area. more information...
