Rota’s Alternierende Verfahren theorem in classical probability theory, which examines the convergence of iterates of measure preserving Markov operators, relies on a dilation technique. In the noncommutative setting of von Neumann algebras, this idea leads to the notion of absolute dilation.  

In this talk, we explore when a Fourier multiplier on a group von Neumann algebra is absolutely dilatable. We discuss conditions that guarantee absolute dilatability and present an explicit counterexample—a Fourier multiplier that does not satisfy this property. This talk is based on a joint work with Christian Le Merdy.
