Objective

Starting with Voiculescu's pioneering work on free probability from 1983, there has for more than 25 years been a strong development in mathematical research on the interrelations between operator algebra theory, probability theory and group theory. The PI has over the last 10 years made several important contributions to this development. The aim of the project is to target some of the main open problems in this area, such as the isomorphism problem for free group factors and Connes' embedding problem for finite factors. The project will take place at University of Copenhagen in close contact with its well established group in operator algebras.
