Structural results for von Neumann algebras of poly-hyperbolic groups

de Santiago, Rolando 01 August 2017 (has links)
This work is a compilation of structural results for the von Neumann algebras of poly-hyperbolic groups established in a series of works done jointly with I. Chifan and T. Sinclair; and S. Pant. These works provide a wide range of circumstances where the product structure, a discrete structural property, can be recovered from the von Neumann algebra (a continuous object). The primary result of Chifan, Sinclair and myself is as follows: if Γ = Γ1 × · · · × Γn is a product of non-elementary hyperbolic icc groups and Λ is a group such that L(Γ)=L(Λ), then Λ decomposes as an n-fold product of infinite groups. This provides a group-level strengthening of the unique prime decomposition of Ozawa and Popa by eliminating any assumption on the target group Λ. The methods necessary to establish this result provide a malleable procedure which allows one to rebuild the product of a group from the algebra itself. Modifying the techniques found in the previous work, Pant and I are able to demonstrate that the class of poly-groups exhibit a similar phenomenon. Specifically, if Γ is a poly-hyperbolic group whose corresponding algebra is non-prime, then the group must necessarily decompose as a product of infinite groups.

Hyperbolic Groups And The Word Problem

Wu, David 01 June 2024 (has links) (PDF)
Mikhail Gromov’s work on hyperbolic groups in the late 1980s contributed to the formation of geometric group theory as a distinct branch of mathematics. The creation of hyperbolic metric spaces showed it was possible to define a large class of hyperbolic groups entirely geometrically yet still be able to derive significant algebraic properties. The objectives of this thesis are to provide an introduction to geometric group theory through the lens of quasi-isometry and show how hyperbolic groups have solvable word problem. Also included is the Stability Theorem as an intermediary result for quasi-isometry invariance of hyperbolicity.

Sobre uma classificação dos anéis de inteiros, dos semigrupos finitos e dos RA-loops com a propriedade hiperbólica / On a classification of the integral rings, finite semigroups and RA-loops with the hyperbolic property

Souza Filho, Antonio Calixto de 16 November 2006 (has links)
Apresentamos duas construções para unidades de uma ordem em uma classe de álgebras de quatérnios que é anel de divisão: as unidades de Pell e as unidades de Gauss. Classificamos os anéis de inteiros de extensões quadráticas racionais, $R$, cujo grupo de unidades $\\U (R G)$ é hiperbólico para um certo grupo $G$ fixado. Também classificamos os semigrupos finitos $S$, tal que, para a álgebra unitária $\\Q S$ e para toda $\\Z$-ordem $\\Gamma$ de $\\Q S$, o grupo de unidades $\\U (\\Gamma)$ é hiperbólico. Nesse mesmo contexto, classificamos os {\\it RA}-loops $L$ cujo loop de unidades $\\U (\\Z L)$ não contém um subgrupo abeliano livre de posto dois. / For a given division algebra of a quaternion algebra, we construct and define two types of units of its $\\Z$-orders: Pell units and Gauss units. Also, for the quadratic imaginary extensions over the racionals and some fixed group $G$, we classify the algebraic integral rings for which the unit group ring is a hyperbolic group. We also classify the finite semigroups $S$, for which all integral orders $\\Gamma$ of $\\Q S$ have hyperbolic unit group $\\U(\\Gamma)$. We conclude with the classification of the $RA$-loops $L$ for which the unit loop of its integral loop ring does not contain a free abelian subgroup of rank two.
