There is no separable universal II₁-factor
Ozawa, Narutaka
Original · EN
Gromov constructed uncountably many pairwise non-isomorphic discrete groups with Kazhdan's property (T). We will show that no separable II₁-factor can contain all these groups in its unitary group. In particular, no separable II₁-factor can contain all separable II₁-factors in it. We also show that the full group C*-algebras of some of these groups fail the lifting property.
