Title: Poisson boundaries of groups and von Neumann algebras 


Abstract:

Furstenberg introduced the notion of Poisson boundary of groups in 1960s. Since then, Poisson boundaries have played a pivotal role in ergodic theory, and measured group theory to study various rigidity phenomenon associated with groups and their actions.

Motivated by this, Alain Connes proposed that a corresponding notion of Poisson boundaries for von Neumann algebras needs to be developed in order to study rigidity aspects of von Neumann algebras. In this talk, I will explain the notion of classical Poisson boundaries, and their noncommutative counterpart, which was developed by Prof. Jesse Peterson and the speaker. I will also mention a few applications.
