Abstract: Let M be a II1 factor with a von Neumann subalgebra QsubsetM that has infinite index under any projection in Q′capM (e.g., Q abelian; or Q an irreducible subfactor with infinite Jones index). We prove that given any separable subalgebra B of the ultrapower II1 factor Momega, for a non-principal ultrafilter omega on BbbN, there exists a unitary element uinMomega such that uBu∗ is orthogonal to Qomega.


Summary: Let \(M\) be a \(\mathrm{II}_1\) factor with a von Neumann subalgebra \(Q\subset M\) that has infinite index under any projection in \(Q^\prime\cap M\) (e.g., if \(Q^\prime\cap M\) is diffuse, or if \(Q\) is an irreducible subfactor with infinite Jones index). We prove that given any separable subalgebra \(B\) of the ultrapower \(\mathrm{II}_1\) factor \(M^\omega \), for a nonprincipal ultrafilter \(\omega\) on \(\mathbb{N} \), there exists a unitary element \(u\in M^\omega\) such that \(uBu^*\) is orthogonal to \(Q^\omega \).
