Abstract |

In the past two decades, Sorin Popa’s breakthrough deformation/rigidity theory has produced remarkable rigidity results for von Neumann algebras which can be deformed inside a larger algebra by an action , while simultaneously containing subalgebras rigid with respect to that deformation, that is, such that uniformly on the unit ball of as . However, it has remained unclear how to exploit the interplay between distinct rigid subalgebras not in specified relative position. We show that in fact, any diffuse subalgebra which is rigid with respect to a mixing s-malleable deformation is contained in a subalgebra which is uniquely maximal with respect to being rigid. In particular, the algebra generated by any family of rigid subalgebras that intersect diffusely must itself be rigid with respect to that deformation. The case where this family has two members was the motivation for this work, showing for example that if is a countable group with , then cannot be generated by two property-(T) subalgebras with diffuse intersection; however, the result is most striking when the family is infinite. |
