Strong Singularity of Singular Masas in Ii1 Factors

چکیده
A singular masa A in a II1 factor N is defined by the property that any unitary w ∈ N for which A = wAw∗ must lie in A. A strongly singular masa A is one that satisfies the inequality ‖EA − EwAw∗‖∞,2 ≥ ‖w − EA(w)‖2 for all unitaries w ∈ N , where EA is the conditional expectation of N onto A, and ‖ · ‖∞,2 is defined for bounded maps φ : N → N by sup{‖φ(x)‖2 : x ∈ N, ‖x‖ ≤ 1}. Strong singularity easily implies singularity, and the main result of this paper shows the reverse implication. ∗Partially supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

متن کاملStrong Singularity for Subfactors
We examine the notion of α-strong singularity for subfactors of a II1 factor, which is a metric quantity that relates the distance between a unitary in the factor and a subalgebra with the distance between that subalgebra and its unitary conjugate. Through planar algebra techniques, we demonstrate the existence of a finite index singular subfactor of the hyperfinite II1 factor that cannot be st...
متن کاملA continuous path of singular masas in the hyperfinite II1 factor
Using methods of R.J.Tauer [13] we exhibit an uncountable family of singular masas in the hyperfinite II1 factor R all with Pukánszky invariant {1}, no pair of which are conjugate by an automorphism of R. This is done by introducing an invariant Γ(A) for a masa A in a II1 factor N as the maximal size of a projection e ∈ A for which Ae contains non-trivial centralising sequences for eNe. The mas...
متن کاملStrong Singularity for Subfactors of a II 1 Factor
We examine the notion of α-strong singularity for subfactors of a II1 factor, which is a metric quantity that relates the distance of a unitary to a subalgebra with the distance between that subalgebra and its unitary conjugate. Using work of Popa, Sinclair, and Smith, we show that there exists an absolute constant 0 < c < 1 such that all subfactors are c-strongly singular. Under additional hyp...
متن کاملStructural Properties of Close Ii1 Factors
We show that a number of key structural properties transfer between sufficiently close II1 factors, including solidity, strong solidity, uniqueness of Cartan masas and property Γ. We also examine II1 factors close to tensor product factors, showing that such factors also factorise as a tensor product in a fashion close to the original.
