Weak amenability for subfactors

From MaRDI portal
Publication:5264578



Abstract: We define the notions of weak amenability and the Cowling-Haagerup constant for extremal finite index subfactors of type II_1. We prove that the Cowling-Haagerup constant only depends on the standard invariant of the subfactor. Hence, we define the Cowling-Haagerup constant for standard invariants. We explicitly compute the constant for Bisch-Haagerup subfactors and prove that it is equal to the constant of the group involved in the construction. Given a finite family of amenable standard invariants in the sense of Popa, we prove that their free product in the sense of Bisch-Jones is weakly amenable with constant 1. We show that the Cowling-Haagerup constant of the tensor product of a finite family of standard invariants is equal to the product of their Cowling-Haagerup constants.
