Abstract
Vaughan Jones initiated the theory of subfactors which deals with the relative position of a subfactor inside an ambient factor. It is a very natural and fundamental question to consider the relative positions of multiple subfactors. In general, the theory becomes quite complicated. In the same vein, Jones also initiated a systematic study of a pair of subfactors. In this talk, I shall attempt to explain some of our contributions to this ongoing project. 
Speaker Intro
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (https://www.iitk.ac.in/math/). I have received my PhD from the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (HBNI) under the supervision of Prof. V. S. Sunder. I work with topics in C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras (more precisely, Jones' subfactor theory).
