چکیده

In his celebrated paper in 1976, A. Connes casually remarked that any finite von Neumann algebra ought to be embedded into an ultraproduct of matrix algebras, which is now known as the Connes embedding conjecture or problem. This conjecture became one of the central open problems in the field of operator algebras since E. Kirchberg’s seminal work in 1993 that proves it is equivalent to a variety of other seemingly totally unrelated but important conjectures in the field. Since then, many more equivalents of the conjecture have been found, also in some other branches of mathematics such as noncommutative real algebraic geometry and quantum information theory. In this note, we present a survey of this conjecture with a focus on the algebraic aspects of it.

Connes’ Embedding Conjecture and Sums of Hermitian Squares

We show that Connes’ embedding conjecture on von Neumann algebras is equivalent to the existence of certain algebraic certificates for a polynomial in noncommuting variables to satisfy the following nonnegativity condition: The trace is nonnegative whenever self-adjoint contraction matrices of the same size are substituted for the variables. These algebraic certificates involve sums of hermitia...

Connes ’ embedding problem and Tsirelson ’ s problem

We show that Tsirelson’s problem concerning the set of quantum correlations and Connes’ embedding problem on finite approximations in von Neumann algebras (known to be equivalent to Kirchberg’s QWEP conjecture) are essentially equivalent. Specifically, Tsirelson’s problem asks whether the set of bipartite quantum correlations generated between tensor product separated systems is the same as the...
