Abstract: In 1960 Puk'anszky introduced an invariant associating to every masa in a separable mathrmII1 factor a non-empty subset of mathbbNcupinfty. This invariant examines the multiplicity structure of the von Neumann algebra generated by the left-right action of the masa. In this paper it is shown that every non-empty subset of mathbbNcupinfty arises as the Puk'anszky invariant of some masa in a separable McDuff mathrmII1 factor which contains a masa with Puk'anszky invariant 1. In particular the hyperfinite mathrmII1 factor and all separable McDuff mathrmII1 factors with a Cartan masa satisfy this hypothesis. In a general separable McDuff factor we show that every subset of mathbbNcupinfty containing infty is obtained as a Puk'anskzy invariant of some masa.
