Three natural definitions for amenability of general Hopf C^*-algebras (all of them being generalizations of the case of locally compact groups) were given and the relations between them were studied. Moreover, amenability in the situation of duality of Hopf C^*-algebras was also studied.
We study some general properties of tracial C*-algebras. In the first part, we consider Dixmier type approximation theorem and characterize symmetric amenability for C*-algebras. In the second part, we consider continuous bundles of tracial von Neumann algebras and classify some of them.
In this work we apply Noncommutative Potential Theory to prove (relative) amenability and the (relative) Haagerup Property $(H)$ of von Neumann algebras in terms of the spectral growth of Dirichlet forms. Examples deal with (inclusions of) countable discrete groups and free orthogonal compact quantum groups.
We generalize Renault's notion of measurewise amenability to actions of second countable, Hausdorff, étale groupoids on separable $C^*$-algebras and show that measurewise amenability characterizes nuclearity of the crossed product whenever the $C^*$-algebra acted on is nuclear. In the more general context of Fell bundles over second countable, Hausdorff, étale groupoids, we introduce a version of Exel's approximation property. We prove that the approximation property implies nuclearity of the cross-sectional algebra whenever the unit bundle is nuclear. For Fell bundles associated to groupoid a…
We prove a functoriality result for the full C*-algebras of right-LCM monoids with respect to monoid inclusions that are closed under factorization and preserve orthogonality, and use this to show that if a right-LCM monoid is amenable in the sense of Nica, then so are its submonoids. As applications, we complete the classification of Artin monoids with respect to Nica amenability by showing that only the right-angled ones are amenable in the sense of Nica and we show that the Nica amenability of a graph product of right-LCM semigroups is inherited by the factors.
In this article, we give explicit examples of maximal amenable subalgebras of the $q$-Gaussian algebras, namely, the generator subalgebra is maximal amenable inside the $q$-Gaussian algebras for real numbers $q$ with its absolute value sufficiently small. To achieve this, we construct a Riesz basis in the spirit of Rădulescu and develop a structural theorem for the $q$-Gaussian algebras.
We recast the Foelner condition in an operator algebraic setting and prove that it implies a certain dimension flatness property. Furthermore, it is proven that the Foelner condition generalizes the existing notions of amenability and that the enveloping von Neumann algebra arising from a Foelner algebra is automatically injective. As an application we show how our techniques unify the previously known results concerning vanishing of L^2-Betti numbers for amenable groups, groupoids and quantum groups and moreover provides a large class of new examples of algebras with vanishing L^2-Betti numbe…
In this paper, we give another two characterizations of relative amenability on finite von Neumann algebras, one of which can be thought of as an analogue of injective operator systems. As an application, we prove a stable property of relative amenable inclusions. We prove that under certain assumptions, the inclusion $N=\int_{X} \bigoplus N_{p} d μ\subset M=\int_{X} \bigoplus M_{p} d μ$ is amenable if and only if $N_p\subset M_p$ is amenable almost everywhere.
We investigate recent uniqueness theorems for reduced $C^*$-algebras of Hausdorff étale groupoids in the context of inverse semigroups. In many cases the distinguished subalgebra is closely related to the structure of the inverse semigroup. In order to apply our results to full $C^*$-algebras, we also investigate amenability. More specifically, we obtain conditions that guarantee amenability of the universal groupoid for certain classes of inverse semigroups. These conditions also imply the existence of a conditional expectation onto a canonical subalgebra.
The notion of Fréchet locally $C^*$-algebra generalizes the notion of $C^*$-algebra. In this paper, we first present some definitions and basic facts about locally $C^*$-algebra, and then we introduce and study the notion of ideal and weak amenability for these algebras. Also, we show that every Fréchet locally $C^*$-algebra is ideally amenable.
We consider the Fourier-Stietljes algebra B(G) of a locally compact group G. We show that operator amenablility of B(G) implies that a certain semitolpological compactification of G admits only finitely many idempotents. In the case that G is connected, we show that operator amenability of B(G) entails that $G$ is compact.
In this article we analyze the notions of amenability and paradoxical decomposition from an algebraic perspective. We consider this dichotomy for locally finite extended metric spaces and for general algebras over commutative fields. In the context of algebras we also study the relation of amenability with proper infiniteness. We apply our general analysis to two important classes of algebras: the unital Leavitt path algebras and the translation algebras on locally finite extended metric spaces. In particular, we show that the amenability of a metric space is equivalent to the algebraic amenab…
In this paper, we introduce actions of fusion algebras on unital $C^*$-algebras, and define amenability for fusion algebraic actions. Motivated by S.\ Neshveyev et al.'s work, considering the co-representation ring of a compact quantum group as a fusion algebra, we define the canonical fusion algebraic (for short, CFA) form of a discrete quantum group action on a compact quantum space. Furthermore, through the CFA form, we define FA-amenability of discrete quantum group actions, and present some basic connections between FA-amenable actions and amenable discrete quantum groups. As an applicati…
Operator amenability of Fourier-Stieltjes algebras
算子顺从性的概念是由Z. J. Ruan,1995年。他表明,一个局部紧群G是顺从的当且仅当其傅立叶代数A(G)是经营者顺从。本文研究了Fourier-Stieltjes代数B(G)和约化Fourier-Stieltjes代数B_r(G)的算子顺从性。自然的猜想是,这些代数中的任何一个都是算子顺从的当且仅当G是紧的。我们部分地证明了这个猜想与纯粹的运营商顺从性取代运营商C-顺从性,某些常数C < 5。在这个过程中,我们得到了B(G)的一个新的分解,它可以解释为M(G)分解为离散测度和连续测度的非交换对应。我们进一步引入了算子顺从性的一种变体--算子Connes顺从性,它也考虑了B(G)和B_r(G)上的对偶空间结构.证明了B_r(G)是Connes-affected的当且仅当G是affected的.令人惊讶的是,B(F_2)是算子Connes顺从的,尽管两个生成元中的自由群F_2不顺从.
Consider an inclusion of diffuse von Neumann algebras A c M . We say that A c M has the absorbing amenability property if for any diffuse subalgebra B c A and any amenable intermediate algebra B c D c M we have that D is contained in A. We prove that the cup subalgebra associated to any subfactor planar algebra has the absorbing amenability property.
We prove the existence of a linear isometric correspondence between the Banach space of all symmetric orthogonal forms on a JB$^*$-algebra $\mathcal{J}$ and the Banach space of all purely Jordan generalized derivations from $\mathcal{J}$ into $\mathcal{J}^*$. We also establish the existence of a similar linear isometric correspondence between the Banach spaces of all anti-symmetric orthogonal forms on $\mathcal{J}$, and of all Lie Jordan derivations from $\mathcal{J}$ into $\mathcal{J}^*$.
In this work we introduce and study a new notion of amenability for actions of locally compact groups on $C^*$-algebras. Our definition extends the definition of amenability for actions of discrete groups due to Claire Anantharaman-Delaroche. We show that our definition has several characterizations and permanence properties analogous to those known in the discrete case. For example, for actions on commutative $C^*$-algebras, we show that our notion of amenability is equivalent to measurewise amenability. Combined with a recent result of Alex Bearden and Jason Crann, this also settles a long s…
In this paper we prove that the Thompson groups $T$ and $V$ are not inner amenable. In particular, their group von Neumann algebras do not have property $Γ$. Moreover, we prove that if the reduced group $C^\ast$-algebra of $T$ is simple, then the Thompson group $F$ is non-amenable. Furthermore, we give a few new equivalent characterizations of amenability of $F$.
Group amenability properties for von Neumann algebras
在他对顺从的酉表示的研究中,M. E. B.贝卡问是否有一个类似的代表性显着的定点财产顺从的群体。在本文中,我们证明了这样一个不动点定理在更一般的背景下的$G$ -顺从冯诺依曼代数$M$,其中$G$是一个局部紧群作用在$M$。本文将Connes和Bekka的Følner条件推广到$M$是半有限的,并且有一个忠实的、半有限的、正规的迹在$G$作用下不变的情形.
Using ultrapowers of $C^{\ast}$-algebras we provide a new construction of the multiplier algebra of a $C^{\ast}$-algebra. This extends the work of Avsec and Goldbring [Houston J. Math., to appear, arXiv:1610.09276.] to the setting of noncommutative and nonseparable $C^{\ast}$-algebras. We also extend their work to give a new proof of the fact that groups that act transitively on locally finite trees with boundary amenable stabilizers are boundary amenable.
This paper concerns the study of regular Fourier hypergroups through multipliers of their associated Fourier algebras. We establish hypergroup analogues of well-known characterizations of group amenability, introduce a notion of weak amenability for hypergroups, and show that every discrete commutative hypergroup is weakly amenable with constant 1. Using similar techniques, we provide a sufficient condition for amenability of hypergroup Fourier algebras, which, as an immediate application, answers one direction of a conjecture of Azimifard--Samei--Spronk [J. Funct. Anal. 256(5) 1544-1564, 2009…
We show that for a connected Lie group $G$, its Fourier algebra $A(G)$ is weakly amenable only if $G$ is abelian. Our main new idea is to show that weak amenability of $A(G)$ implies that the anti-diagonal, $\checkΔ_G=\{(g,g^{-1}):g\in G\}$, is a set of local synthesis for $A(G\times G)$. We then show that this cannot happen if $G$ is non-abelian. We conclude for a locally compact group $G$, that $A(G)$ can be weakly amenable only if it contains no closed connected non-abelian Lie subgroups. In particular, for a Lie group $G$, $A(G)$ is weakly amenable if and only if its connected component of…
Building on our previous work, we study the non-relative homology of quantum group convolution algebras. Our main result establishes the equivalence of amenability of a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ and 1-injectivity of $L^{\infty}(\widehat{\mathbb{G}})$ as an operator $L^1(\widehat{\mathbb{G}})$-module. In particular, a locally compact group $G$ is amenable if and only if its group von Neumann algebra $VN(G)$ is 1-injective as an operator module over the Fourier algebra $A(G)$. As an application, we provide a decomposability result for completely bounded $L^1(\widehat{\mathbb{G}}…
Amenability for groups can be extended to metric spaces, algebras over commutative fields and $C^*$-algebras by adapting the notion of Følner nets. In the present article we investigate the close ties among these extensions and show that these three pictures unify in the context of the uniform Roe algebra $C_u^*(X)$ over a metric space $(X,d)$ with bounded geometry. In particular, we show that the following conditions are equivalent: (1) $(X,d)$ is amenable; (2) the translation algebra generating $C_u^*(X)$ is algebraically amenable (3) $C_u^*(X)$ has a tracial state; (4) $C_u^*(X)$ is not pro…
We analyze the dichotomy amenable/paradoxical in the context of (discrete, countable, unital) semigroups and corresponding semigroup rings. We consider also Følner's type characterizations of amenability and give an example of a semigroup whose semigroup ring is algebraically amenable but has no Følner sequence. In the context of inverse semigroups $S$ we give a characterization of invariant measures on $S$ (in the sense of Day) in terms of two notions: $domain$ $measurability$ and $localization$. Given a unital representation of $S$ in terms of partial bijections on some set $X$ we define a n…
