Topic: 
Primeness results for von Neumann algebras associated to groups acting on trees

Abstract:

A type II_1 factor is called prime if it cannot be decomposed as the tensor product of two type II_1 factors. In this talk, I will show primeness of group von Neumann algebras associated to a class of groups acting non elementarily on tree with weakly malnormal edge stabilizer. This talk is based on a Joint work with I. Chifan and S. Kunnawalkam Elayavalli.
