Graph products of operator algebras (Q528842)

Summary: Graph products for groups were defined by \textit{E. R. Green} in her thesis [Graph products. Leeds: University of Leeds (PhD Thesis) (1990), \url{http://ethesis. whiterose.ac.uk/236}] as a generalization of both Cartesian and free products. In this paper we define the corresponding graph product for reduced and maximal \(C^\ast\)-algebras, von Neumann algebras and quantum groups. We prove stability properties including permanence of \(\mathrm{II}_1\)-factors, the Haagerup property, exactness and, under suitable conditions, the property of rapid decay for quantum groups.
