A class of II₁ factors with a unique McDuff decomposition

Publication:2324849



Abstract: We provide a fairly large class of II1 factors N such that has a unique McDuff decomposition, up to isomorphism, where R denotes the hyperfinite II1 factor. This class includes all II1 factors N=Linfty(X)timesGamma associated to free ergodic probability measure preserving (p.m.p.) actions Gammacurvearrowright(X,mu) such that either (a) Gamma is a free group, mathbbFn, for some ngeq2, or (b) Gamma is a non-inner amenable group and the orbit equivalence relation of the action Gammacurvearrowright(X,mu) satisfies a property introduced in cite{JS85}. On the other hand, settling a problem posed by Jones and Schmidt in 1985, we give the first examples of countable ergodic p.m.p. equivalence relations which do not satisfy the property of cite{JS85}. We also prove that if mathcalR is a countable strongly ergodic p.m.p. equivalence relation and mathcalT is a hyperfinite ergodic p.m.p. equivalence relation, then mathcalRimesmathcalT has a unique stable decomposition, up to isomorphism. Finally, we provide new characterisations of property Gamma for II1 factors and of strong ergodicity for countable p.m.p. equivalence relations.
