This paper completes the classification of injective factors, cf. \textit{A. Connes} [Ann. Math., II. Ser. 104, 73-115 (1976; Zbl 0343.46042) and J. Oper. Theory 14, 189-211 (1985; Zbl 0597.46063)]. The author proves that any hyperfinite factor of type \(III_ 1\) has a trivial bicentralizer, and is, therefore isomorphic to the Araki-Woods factor \(R_{\infty}\). He also gives a characterization of \(III_ 1\)-factors with only trivial bicentralizers.
