Mean Dimension, Mean Rank, and Von Neumann-lück Rank
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce an invariant, called mean rank, for any module M of the integral group ring of a discrete amenable group Γ, as an analogue of the rank of an abelian group. It is shown that the mean dimension of the induced Γ-action on the Pontryagin dual of M, the mean rank of M, and the von Neumann-Lück rank of M all coincide. As applications, we establish an addition formula for mean dimension of algebraic actions, prove the analogue of the Pontryagin-Schnirelmnn theorem for algebraic actions, and show that for elementary amenable groups with an upper bound on the orders of finite subgroups, algebraic actions with zero mean dimension are inverse limits of finite entropy actions.

Sofic Mean Length
Given a length function L on the R-modules of a unital ring R, for any sofic group Γ, we define a mean length for every locally L-finite RΓ-module relative to a bigger RΓ-module. We establish an addition formula for the mean length. We give two applications. The first one shows that for any unital left Noetherian ring R, RΓ is stably direct finite. The second one shows that for any ZΓ-module M,...
متن کاملQuantum Tomography of Semi-Algebraic Sets with Constrained Measurements
We analyse quantum state tomography in scenarios where measurements and states are both constrained. States are assumed to live in a semi-algebraic subset of state space and measurements are supposed to be rank-one POVMs, possibly with additional constraints. Specifically, we consider sets of von Neumann measurements and sets of local observables. We provide upper bounds on the minimal number o...
متن کاملCalculating Different Topological Indices of Von Neumann Regular Graph of Z_(p^α )
By the Von Neumann regular graph of R, we mean the graph that its vertices are all elements of R such that there is an edge between vertices x,y if and only if x+y is a von Neumann regular element of R, denoted by G_Vnr (R). For a commutative ring R with unity, x in R is called Von Neumann regular if there exists x in R such that a=a2 x. We denote the set of Von Neumann regular elements by V nr...
متن کاملL 2 -invariants and Rank Metric
We introduce a notion of rank completion for bi-modules over a finite tracial von Neumann algebra. We show that the functor of rank completion is exact and that the category of complete modules is abelian with enough projective objects. This leads to interesting computations in the L 2-homology for tracial algebras. As an application, we also give a new proof of a Theorem of Gaboriau on invaria...
متن کاملLifting Defects for Nonstable K0-theory of Exchange Rings and C*-algebras
The assignment (nonstable K0-theory), that to a ring R associates the monoid V(R) of Murray-von Neumann equivalence classes of idempotent infinite matrices with only finitely nonzero entries over R, extends naturally to a functor. We prove the following lifting properties of that functor: (i) There is no functor Γ, from simplicial monoids with order-unit with normalized positive homomorphisms t...
