Given a countable essentially free ergodic non-singular group action $G \curvearrowright (X, \mu)$ on a standard measure space, suppose $\mu$ is a non-atomic probability measure and $\alpha: G \...

Let $M$ be a von Neumann algebra acting in a Hilbert space $H$, and let $\rho$ be a representation of a group $G$ on a Hilbert space $K$. Define $M\rtimes_\rho G$ to be a von Neumann algebra acting in ...

Let $G$ and $\text{vN}(G)$ be a torsion free group and its group von Neumann algebra. Is there a characterization of non trivial projections in $\text{vN}(G)$? If not, is a certain class of them ...
