Intermediate subfactors with no extra structure

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: If NsubsetP,QsubsetM are type II_1 factors with N′capM=Cid and [M:N] finite we show that restrictions on the standard invariants of the elementary inclusions NsubsetP, NsubsetQ, PsubsetM and QsubsetM imply drastic restrictions on the indices and angles between the subfactors. In particular we show that if these standard invariants are trivial and the conditional expectations onto P and Q do not commute, then [M:N] is 6 or 6+4sqrt2. In the former case N is the fixed point algebra for an outer action of S3 on M and the angle is pi/3, and in the latter case the angle is cos−1(sqrt2−1) and an example may be found in the GHJ subfactor family. The techniques of proof rely heavily on planar algebras.
