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.
