Let C and A be two unital separable amenable simple C-algebras with tracial rank no more than one. Suppose that C satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem and suppose that φ1, φ2 : C → A are two unital monomorphisms. We show that there is a continuous path of unitaries {ut : t ∈ [0,∞)} of A such that lim t→∞ u∗tφ1(c)ut = φ2(c) for all c ∈ C if and only if [φ1] = [φ2] in KK(C,A), φ ‡ 1 = φ 2 ...

In this paper we study bipartite quantum correlations using techniques from tracial polynomial optimization. We construct a hierarchy of semidefinite programming lower bounds on the minimal entanglement dimension of a bipartite correlation. This hierarchy converges to a new parameter: the minimal average entanglement dimension, which measures the amount of entanglement needed to reproduce a qua...

For an ergodic p.m.p. action G y (X,μ) of a countable group G, we define the Rokhlin entropy hRok G (X,μ) to be the infimum of the Shannon entropies of countable generating partitions. It is known that for free ergodic actions of amenable groups this notion coincides with classical Kolmogorov– Sinai entropy. It is thus natural to view Rokhlin entropy as a close analogue to classical entropy. Un...

We give conditions for the exactness of Rokhlin skew products, apply these to random walks on locally compact, second countable topological groups and obtain that the Poisson boundary of a globally supported random walk on such a group is weakly mixing. S is a measurable homomorphism). We give (theorem 2.3) conditions for the exactness of the Rokhlin endomorphism T = These conditions are applie...

The Fast Multipole Method (FMM) designed by V. Rokhlin rapidly computes the field scattered from an obstacle. This computation consists of solving an integral equation on the boundary of the obstacle. The main result of this paper shows the convergence of the FMM for the two dimensional Helmholtz equation. Before giving the theorem, we give an overview of the main ideas of the FMM. This is done...

Let A and C be two unital simple C*-algebras with tracial rank zero. Suppose that C is amenable and satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem. Denote by KKe(C,A) ++ the set of those κ for which κ(K0(C)+ \ {0}) ⊂ K0(A)+ \ {0} and κ([1C ]) = [1A]. Suppose that κ ∈ KKe(C,A) . We show that there is a unital monomorphism φ : C → A such that [φ] = κ. Suppose that C is a unital AH-algebra and λ : T(...

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...

We give complete descriptions of the tracial states on both universal and reduced crossed products a C*-dynamical system consisting unital C*-algebra discrete group. In particular, we also answer question when are in canonical bijection with invariant original C*-algebra. This generalizes unique trace property for groups. The analysis simplifies greatly various cases, example conjugacy classes ...
