Abstract:A. The Connes Embedding Problem (CEP) is a problem in the theory of tracial von Neumann algebras and asks whether or not every tracial von Neumann algebra embeds into an ultrapower of the hyperfinite II 1 factor. The CEP has had interactions with a wide variety of areas of mathematics, including C ˚-algebra theory, geometric group theory, free probability, and noncommutative real algebraic geometry (to name a few). After remaining open for over 40 years, a negative solution was recently obtained as a corollary… Show more
