Partial classification of the Baumslag-Solitar group von Neumann algebras
Documenta mathematica, Tome 19 (2014), pp. 629-645
We prove that the rational number ∣n/m∣ is an invariant of the group von Neumann algebra of the Baumslag–Solitar group BS(n,m). More precisely, if L(BS(n,m)) is isomorphic with L(BS(n′,m′)), then ∣n′/m′∣=∣n/m∣±1. We obtain this result by associating to abelian, but not maximal abelian, subalgebras of a II1 factor, an equivalence relation that can be of type III. In particular, we associate to L(BS(n,m)) a canonical equivalence relation of type III∣n/m∣.
