Title: Jones' basic construction
Speaker: Zachary Dell (Ohio State University)
Abstract: We will define the basic construction $\langle M , N \rangle$ for an inclusion $N \subseteq M$ of finite von Neumann algebras, giving some simple examples and elementary properties. Particular attention will be given to the finite dimensional case, including Bratteli diagrams and the Markov property.
