Weakly Exact von Neumann Algebras and Amalgamated Free Products
Kai Toyosawa; Vanderbilt University
Weak exactness for von Neumann algebras was first introduced by Kirchberg in 1995 as an analogue of exactness in the setting of C$^*$-algebras. In this talk, I will show that the amalgamated free product of weakly exact von Neumann algebras is again weakly exact. The proof involves a universal property of Toeplitz-Pimsner algebras and a locally convex topology on bimodules of von Neumann algebras, which is used to characterize weak exactness.
