Intersection of two intermediate subalgebras

Suppose $B\subset A$ is an inclusion of simple $C^*$-algebras with a conditional expectation of (Watatani) index-finite type and $B^{\prime}\cap A=\mathbb{C}$. Then we know $B^{\prime}\cap A_1$ is ...

irreducible subfactor inclusion and commutativity of induced projections

Let $N\subset M$ be an irreducible subfactor inclusion, i.e., $N'\cap M =\mathbb C1$, acting on a Hilbert space $H$. Let $\Omega\in H$. Does it follow that the projections onto $[N\Omega]$ and $[M'\...

Commuting and generating subfactors of $ B(H)$

I have a question on subfactors of $B(H)$ (the von Neumann algebra of bounded operators on a complex Hilbert space). Say I have a subfactor $M$ of $B(H)$. Is it true that another subfactor $N \subset ...

Connes Embedding Conjecture and Fusion Categories

I was recently introduced to Connes' Embedding Conjecture (CEC) which states: Every separable type $II_{1}$ factor is embeddable into $R^{\omega}$. Where $\omega$ is a generic free ultrafilter on $\...

ubiquity, importance of path algebras

I work in planar algebras and subfactors, where the idea of path algebras on a graph (alternately known as graph algebras, graph planar algebras, etc.) is quite useful. The particular result I'm ...
