No label defined (Q3973596)

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0722.00020.] Let \(\{e_ i;\;i=0,\pm1,\pm2,\dots\}\) be what the author calls the two- sided Jones projections for \(\lambda\), where \(\lambda\in\{(1/4)\sec^ 2(\pi/m);\;m=3,4,\dots\}\cup[4,\infty)\), and which generates a hyperfinite \(II_ 1\) factor \(M\). Then the von Neumann algebra \(N\) generated by \(\{e_ i;\;i\neq 0\}\) is a subfactor of \(M\) (Proposition 1). The author shows that if \(\lambda=(1/4)\sec^ 2(\pi/m)\) for some \(m=3,4,\dots\), then the index of \(N\) in \(M\) is equal to \((m/4) \hbox{cosec}^ 2(\pi/m)\), which is a partial answer to the Jones problem concerning the value of \([M:N]\).
