Let $M$ be a von Neumann algebra and $U(M)=\{x\in M: x^*=x^{-1}\}$ be its unitary group. In this post, we equip $U(M)$ only with the relative weak$^*$ topology $\sigma(M,M_*)$. Then, $U(M)$ is a ...

Let $\cal{M}$ be a finite von Neumann algebra and $\cal{N}$ be a von Neumann subalgebra of $\cal{M}$. The von Neumann algebra $\cal{M}$ is is amenable relative to $\cal{N}$ if there exists a norm ...

Let amenable groups $\Gamma$ and $\Gamma'$. They act outerly of only one manner on the hyperfinite ${\rm II}_1$-factor $\mathcal{R}$. Question: $(\mathcal{R} \subset \mathcal{R} \rtimes \Gamma) ...

Let $\mathcal{A} , \mathcal{B} \subset B(H)$ be ${\rm II}_1$-factors such that $\mathcal{A}', \mathcal{B}' $ are also a ${\rm II}_1$-factors. Question: $\mathcal{A} \cap \mathcal{B} = \mathbb{...
