Normal intermediate subfactors

Abstract: Let

N s u b s e t M

be an irreducible inclusion of type type II

_{1}

factors with finite Jones index. We shall introduce the notion of normality for intermediate subfactors of the inclusion

N s u b s e t M

. If the depth of

N s u b s e t M

is 2, then an intermediate subfactor

K

for

N s u b s e t M

is normal in

N s u b s e t M

if and only if the depths of

N s u b s e t K

and

K s u b s e t M

are both 2. In particular, if

M

is the crossed product

N t i m e s G

of a finite group

G

, then

K = N t i m e s H

is normal in

N s u b s e t M

if and only if

H

is a normal subgroup of

G

.
