Kaplansky density theorem

In the theory of von Neumann algebras, the Kaplansky density theorem, due to Irving Kaplansky, is a fundamental approximation theorem. The importance and ubiquity of this technical tool led to comment in one of his books that, The density theorem is Kaplansky's great gift to mankind. It can be used every day, and twice on Sundays.

Chp9Pr41: Probability Density Functions

A continuous random variable can be described using a function called the probability density function. This video shows us how to prove that a function is a probability density function. This is Chapter 9 Problem 41 from the MATH1231/1241 algebra notes. Presented by Dr Diana Combe from th

Giles Gardam - Kaplansky's conjectures

Kaplansky made various related conjectures about group rings, especially for torsion-free groups. For example, the zero divisors conjecture predicts that if K is a field and G is a torsion-free group, then the group ring K[G] has no zero divisors. I will survey what is known about the conj

Weil conjectures 1 Introduction

This talk is the first of a series of talks on the Weil conejctures. We recall properties of the Riemann zeta function, and describe how Artin used these to motivate the definition of the zeta function of a curve over a finite field. We then describe Weil's generalization of this to varie

Introduction to additive combinatorics lecture 10.8 --- A weak form of Freiman's theorem

In this short video I explain how the proof of Freiman's theorem for subsets of Z differs from the proof given earlier for subsets of F_p^N. The answer is not very much: the main differences are due to the fact that cyclic groups of prime order do not have lots of subgroups, so one has to
