Research:
I study von Neumann
algebras. In particular, I am interested in the structure of type II1 factors.
Here are some of my papers:
(2010) On the
Spectrum of Operator-Valued Entire Functions (w/Rongwei Yang)
(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
