Research:
I most often study von
Neumann algebras. In particular, I am interested in the structure of type
II1 factors.
I’m trying to develop the habit of collecting and developing my ideas on my math blog.
Most of what is there is still private, though.
Here are some of my finished papers:
(2010) A
Note on Moments in Finite von Neumann Algebras (w/ Don Hadwin and Maureen
Jeffery)
(2010) On the Spectrum
of Operator-Valued Entire Functions (w/Rongwei
Yang and Pat Cade)
(2010) A
Note on Non-Residually Solvable Hyperlinear One-Relator Groups (w/ Nick Noblett)
(2010) A
Non-Residually Solvable Hyperlinear One-Relator Group
(2007) Some
Remarks on Haagerup's approximation property (w/ Junsheng Fang)
(2006) A Følner invariant for type II1 factors
(w/ Mohan Ravichandran)
(2004) Transitive
families of projections in factors of type II1
Here is some expository writing and work in progress:
(2011) Semigroups, Dirichlet Forms and Derivations on Type II1 Factors
