A note on the von Neumann algebra of a Baumslag-Solitar group
Abstract
We study qualitative properties of the group von Neumann algebra of a Baumslag-Solitar group. Namely, we prove that, in the non-amenable and ICC case, the associated II1 factor is prime, not solid, and does not have any Cartan subalgebra.
