Free Entropy Dimension in Amalgamated Free Products
نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate the microstates free entropy dimension of natural generators in an amalgamated free product of certain von Neumann algebras, with amalgamation over a hyperfinite subalgebra. In particular, some ‘exotic’ Popa algebra generators of free group factors are shown to have the expected free entropy dimension. We also show that microstates and non–microstates free entropy dimension agree for generating sets of many groups. In the appendix, the first L–Betti number for certain amalgamated free products of groups is calculated.

Topological Entropy of Some Automorphisms of Reduced Amalgamated Free Product C–algebras
Certain classes of automorphisms of reduced amalgamated free products of C∗– algebras are shown to have Brown–Voiculescu topological entropy zero. Also, for automorphisms of exact C∗–algebras, the Connes–Narnhofer–Thirring entropy is shown to be bounded above by the Brown–Voiculescu entropy. These facts are applied to generalize Størmer’s result about the entropy of automorphisms of the II1–fac...
متن کاملAmalgamated Free Product over Cartan Subalgebra
Amalgamated free products of von Neumann algebras were first used by S. Popa ([26]) to construct an irreducible inclusion of (non-AFD) type II1 factors with an arbitrary (admissible) Jones index. Further investigation in this direction was made by K. Dykema ([10]) and F. Rădulescu ([27, 29]) based on Voiculescu’s powerful machine ([40, 41, 44]), and F. Boca ([4]) discussed the Haagerup approxim...
متن کاملExactness of Reduced Amalgamated Free Product C {algebras
Some completely positive maps on reduced amalgamated free products of C∗–algebras are constructed, showing that every reduced amalgamated free product of exact C∗–algebras is exact. Consequently, every amalgamated free product of exact discrete groups is exact.
