Abstract: Bożejko and Speicher introduced q-Gaussian variables to produce examples of generalized Brownian motions. The resulting von Neumann algebras – the q-Gaussian algebras – can be viewed as deformations of the free group factors. It is a very natural question whether these von Neumann algebras are actually isomorphic to the free group factors. Guionnet and Shlyakhtenko introduced the free monotone transport techniques and provided a partial answer: if the number of variables is finite and the parameter q is very small then we do get an isomorphism. There are no results known for infinitely many variables and in my talk I plan to describe a related result about q-Gaussian C*-algebras – in the infinite case they are not isomorphic to their free counterparts. The von Neumann algebraic case remains open.
Joint work with Matthijs Borst, Martijn Caspers and Mario Klisse.
