Linear sofic groups and algebras

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We introduce and systematically study linear sofic groups and linear sofic algebras. This generalizes amenable and LEF groups and algebras. We prove that a group is linear sofic if and only if its group algebra is linear sofic. We show that linear soficity for groups is a priori weaker than soficity but stronger than weak soficity. We also provide an alternative proof of a result of Elek and Szabo which states that sofic groups satisfy Kaplansky's direct finiteness conjecture.
