A boundary approach to rigidity of q-Araki--Woods factors
Abstract
In this paper, we study structural and rigidity properties of q-Araki--Woods factors arising from strongly continuous orthogonal representations of R. We first introduce an AO-type boundary property that is formulated in terms of length projections on the q-Fock spaces, and prove that all q-Araki--Woods factors satisfy this condition. We next characterize uniform convergence of the associated malleable deformations. We then use these two ingredients as a substitute for weak containment in the coarse bimodule and deduce several rigidity theorems in the framework of Popa's deformation/rigidity theory. As a main consequence, we prove that every q-Araki--Woods factor is stably strongly solid. We also prove a normalizer rigidity theorem for inclusions arising from direct sum representations. Finally, we compute Connes' τ-invariant, and construct a continuum of pairwise non-isomorphic type III1 q-Araki--Woods factors with the same τ-invariant.
