Operator Theory Seminar

Sayan Das
Topic: 
On Connes's Rigidity Conjecture

Abstract:
A bold conjecture of Alain Connes states that all icc property (T ) groups are W*-superrigid, i.e., L(G ) completely remembers the group G.  So far, no examples of W*-superrigid property (T ) groups are known.  In my talk, I will describe some positive evidence toward Connes's conjecture.  This talk is based on joint work with Prof. Ionut Chifan and Krishnendu Khan.
