We prove that for any group G in a fairly large class of generalized wreath product groups, the associated von Neumann algebra LG completely" remembers" the group G. More …
Analogy is one of the most effective techniques of human reasoning: When we face new problems, we compare them with simpler and already known ones, in the attempt to use …

This is a continuation of our previous paper studying the structure of Cartan subalgebras of von Neumann factors of type ${\rm II} _1 $. We provide more examples of ${\rm II} _1 …
By solving a free analog of the Monge-Ampère equation, we prove a non-commutative analog of Brenier's monotone transport theorem: if an n-tuple of self-adjoint non …

We use continuous model theory to obtain several results concerning isomorphisms and embeddings between factors and their ultrapowers. Among other things, we show that for …
We introduce a new class of groups called wreath-like products. These groups are close relatives of the classical wreath products and arise naturally in the context of group theoretic …

In the mid 60's, D. Kazhdan defined his Property (T) for locally compact groups and used it as a tool to demonstrate that a large class of lattices are finitely generated. Recall that a …

We undertake a systematic study of W∗-rigidity paradigms for the embeddability relation↪ between separable II 1 factors and its stable version↪ s, obtaining large families of non …
