Abstract: We give a spectral gap characterization of fullness for type mathrmIII factors which is the analog of a theorem of Connes in the tracial case. Using this criterion, we generalize a theorem of Jones by proving that if M is a full factor and sigma:GightarrowmathrmAut(M) is an outer action of a discrete group G whose image in mathrmOut(M) is discrete then the crossed product von Neumann algebra MtimessigmaG is also a full factor. We apply this result to prove the following conjecture of Tomatsu-Ueda: the continuous core of a type mathrmIII1 factor M is full if and only if M is full and its au invariant is the usual topology on mathbbR.
