Cohomology of quantum groups
Cohomology of a tensor category has been recently introduced by Popa-Shlyakhtenko-Vaes and computed in the quantum sl_2 case by Kyed-Raum-Vaes-Valvekens using the Drinfeld-Yetter resolution obtained by Bichon. In this talk, we compute this cohomology for the higher rank case.

The relative Drinfeld commutant and alpha-induction
We study relative Drinfeld commutants of a fusion category in another fusion category in terms of half-braidings. We identify half-braidings with minimal central projections of the relative tube algebra and certain sectors of the Longo-Rehren subfactors. We apply this general machinery to various fusion categories arising from alpha-induction and compute the relative Drinfeld commutants explicitly.

Introduction to Tsirelson's Problem
Tsirelson's problem (in the weaker form) is one of the most important problem in quantum information theory, which is known to be equivalent to Connes's embedding problem. I will review it from an algorithmic point of view. The lecture also cover Slofstra's recent negative solution to the original (i.e., stronger) Tsirelson problem.

C*-algebras and the uniform admissibility of the discrete series
Many aspects of Harish-Chandra’s theory of tempered representations fit very naturally with C*-algebra theory and noncommutative geometry. The principal results are easy to express in the language of C*-algebras, and moreover there are noncommutative-geometric arguments that explain quite conceptually the general form of tempered representation theory, as I shall try to demonstrate. An exception, at least for the time being, is the “uniform admissibility property” of the discrete series. I shall explain what this property is, why it is important, and how it might be approached through C*-algebras and noncommutative geometry.

Actions of amenable groups and absorption of the Jiang-Su algebra
In the recent classification theory of $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras, the absorption of the Jiang-Su algebra $\mathcal{Z}$ plays a central role. Actually, A. S. Toms and W. Winter conjectured that $\mathcal{Z}$-absorption is equivalent to other regularity properties, such as strict comparison and finiteness of nuclear dimension, for standard nuclear $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras. Now, we know that this conjecture holds true under the assumption of unique tracial state.
In this talk, we study a permanence property of $\mathcal{Z}$-absorption for crossed products by countable amenable groups. Assuming strict comparison and uniqueness of tracial state, we show that the crossed product of unital separable simple nuclear $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebra absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra again.

We classify trace scaling automorphisms of $\mathcal{W}\otimes\mathbb{K}$ up to outer conjugacy, where $\mathcal{W}$ is a certain simple separable nuclear stably projectionless C$^*$-algebra having trivial $K$-groups. Mainly, we talk about a homotopy type theorem of unitaries in the central sequence C$^*$-algebra $F(\mathcal{W})$ of $\mathcal{W}$.

Non commutative notions of independences
The convergence in traffic distribution of matrices enriches the convergence in non commutative distribution, and makes tractable the description of the limiting distribution of matrices invariant in law by permutation of the elements of the basis (in particular, of random graphs). In this presentation I will present three particular situations where the traffic independence reduces respectively to the free, the tensor or the Boolean independence.

The universal quantum invariant and colored ideal triangulations
The Drinfeld double of a finite dimensional Hopf algebra is a quasi-triangular Hopf algebra with the canonical element as the universal R-matrix, and one can obtain a ribbon Hopf algebra by adding the ribbon element. The universal quantum invariant of framed links is constructed using a ribbon Hopf algebra. In that construction, a copy of the universal R-matrix is attached to each crossing, and invariance under the Reidemeister III move is shown by the quantum Yang-Baxter equation of the universal R-matrix.
On the other hand, the Heisenberg double of a finite dimensional Hopf algebra has the canonical element (the S-tensor) satisfying the pentagon relation. In this talk we reconstruct the universal quantum invariant using the Heisenberg double, and extend it to an invariant of equivalence classes of colored ideal triangulations of 3-manifolds up to colored moves. In this construction, a copy of the S-tensor is attached to each tetrahedron, and invariance under the colored Pachner (2,3) moves is shown by the pentagon relation of the S-tensor.
任意の有限次元ホップ代数のDrinfeld doubleはcanonical elementを普遍R行列にもつquasi-triangularホップ代数になり.さらにリボン元を付け加えることでリボンホップ代数が得られる.普遍量子不変量とはリボンホップ代数と絡み目図式を用いて構成される枠付き絡み目の不変量である.その構成の中では図式の正交点に普遍R行列が対応し,普遍R行列の量子Yang-Baxter方程式がライデマイスターIII移動の下での不変性を保証する.一方,任意の有限次元ホップ代数のHeisenberg doubleのcanonical element(Sテンソル)は5角関係式を満たす.この講演ではHeisenberg doubleを用いて普遍量子不変量を絡み目補空間の色付き理想単体分割の不変量として再構成し,さらにそれを絡み目補空間の色付き理想単体分割の不変量として拡張する.この構成では理想単体にSテンソルが対応し,色付き理想単体分割のPachner (2,3) moveの下での不変性をSテンソルの5角関係式が保証する.

Nonpositive curvature and operator algebras
The field of operator algebras was begun in the late 1920's by J. von Neumann, through his work on abstract Hilbert spaces and the foundation of quantum mechanics. The subject developed steadily for nearly a century, and found deep connections with many branches of mathematics. The talk will discuss, using concrete examples, some of these connections, in particular with group theory and geometry of nonpositive curvature. The main focus will be the recent work of Sylvain Barré and myself on intermediate rank geometry.
I will give some motivation for this work, and explain some of the leading ideas in the study of discrete groups of intermediate rank.

Boundary rigidity for free product C*-algebras
For a reduced free product of C*-algebras, we prove a boundary rigidity result for the embedding of it into the associated ``crossed product'' C*-algebra under the assumption that the GNS representations associated with the distinguished states are essential and one of free components satisfies a suitable diffuseness condition. This provides new examples of rigid embeddings of exact C*-algebras into purely infinite simple nuclear C*-algebras.

Kazhdan's property (T) and semidefinite programming
Kazhdan's property (T) for groups has a number of applications in
pure and applied mathematics. It has long been thought that
groups with property (T) are rare among the "naturally-occurring"
groups, but it may not be so and it may be possible to observe
this by extensive computer calculations. After an introduction,
I will present a computer assisted (but mathematically rigorous)
method of confirming property (T) based on semidefinite
programming with some operator algebraic input. I will report the
progress recently made in collaboration with M. Kaluba, P. Nowak,
and PL-grid, a Polish supercomputer. It confirms property (T) of
Aut(F_5), which solves a well-known problem in geometric group
theory, at least partially, leaving the tantalizing question in
the case of Aut(F_d), d=4 and d>5, unsettled.

Tube representations of graded categories
We study the structure of tube algebra under graded twist of tensor categories. This deformation scheme played a central role in the Kazhdan-Wenzl classification of semisimple tensor categories with the fusion rules of $\mathrm{SL}_n$, and at the simplest case it relates quantum $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ group at the parameter $q$ and $-q$. Motivated by the 2-cocycle deformation result for tube algebras of pointed categories due to Bisch, Das, Ghosh, Rakshit, we give a general formula describing annular algebra of 3-cocycle deformation categories as 2-cocycle deformation of Fell bundle over a groupoid. Based on joint work with Bhowmick, Ghosh, Rakshit.

A Dixmier-Douady theory for strongly self-absorbing C*-algebras
I will report on joint work with Marius Dadarlat. We showed that the Dixmier-Douady theory of continuous fields of C*-algebras with compact operators as fibres extends to a more general theory of fields with fibres stabilised strongly self-absorbing C*-algebras. The classification of the corresponding locally trivial fields involves a generalised cohomology theory obtained from the unit spectrum of topological K-Theory, which is computable via the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence. An important feature is the appearance of characteristic classes in higher dimensions. We found a necessary and sufficient K-theoretical condition for local triviality of these continuous fields over spaces of finite covering dimension.

Bi-freely infinite divisibility of unitary faces
In free probability theory the notion of free multiplicative convolution of probability distributions on the unit circle has played an important role since its inception by Voiculescu some $30$ years ago. In 2013, Voiculescu generalized the notion of free independence to study left and right actions on reduced free product spaces simultaneously, known as bi-free independence. One generalization of the free multiplicative convolution to the bi-free setting is the bi-free multiplicative convolution of probability distributions on the unit bi-torus. In this talk, we will introduce an analytic machinery to study Voiculescu's bi-free partial $S$-transform and use it to characterize the multiplicative bi-free infinite
divisibility on the unit bi-torus. This is joint work with J.-C. Wang.

Cartan subalgebras in dimension drop algebras
I will report about recent work on Cartan subalgebras of stabilised dimension drop algebras. Starting with an introduction to the topic, which includes motivation, I will proceed to explain a complete classification up to conjugacy by an automorphism of Cartan subalgebras in dimension drop algebras with coprime parameters. Moreover, in this setting two Cartan subalgebras are conjugate if and only if their spectrum is homeomorphic, providing the tamest possible classification result for C*-algebraic Cartan subalgebras.
This is joint work with S. Barlak.

Tingley's problem for operator algebras
Tingley's problem asks whether every surjective isometry between the unit spheres of two Banach spaces admits an extension to a real linear surjective isometry between the whole spaces. Tingley's problem between real Banach spaces has been considered for more than 30 years. In recent years, using the facial structure of unit balls, some researchers solved Tingley's problem between operator algebras affirmatively in several settings. In this talk, I explain the history of this problem and my new results concerning Tingley's problem for operator algebras.

Asymptotic invariants of lattices in locally compact groups
The aim of our work is to understand some of the asymptotic properties of sequences of lattices in a fixed locally compact group. As an example we are interested in the asymptotic growth of the Betti numbers of the lattices renormalized by the covolume or the rank-gradient, the minimal number of generator also renormalized by the covolume. For doing so we will consider the ultraproduct of the actions of the locally compact group on the coset spaces and we will show how the properties of one of its cross sections are related to the asymptotic properties of the lattices.
