Free Entropy Equality Problem


The free entropy equality problem asks whether finite microstates free entropy forces equality with nonmicrostates free entropy:

 chi(X)>-infty ==> chi(X)=chi^*(X).

The tuple consists of bounded self-adjoint elements in a von Neumann algebra with a faithful normal tracial state. The microstates entropy uses an operator-norm cutoff and an upper limit over matrix sizes.
