Abstract: We investigate Cartan subalgebras in nontracial amalgamated free product von Neumann algebras M1astBM2 over an amenable von Neumann subalgebra B. First, we settle the problem of the absence of Cartan subalgebra in arbitrary free product von Neumann algebras. Namely, we show that any nonamenable free product von Neumann algebra (M1,varphi1)ast(M2,varphi2) with respect to faithful normal states has no Cartan subalgebra. This generalizes the tracial case that was established in cite{Io12a}. Next, we prove that any countable nonsingular ergodic equivalence relation mathcalR defined on a standard measure space and which splits as the free product mathcalR=mathcalR1astmathcalR2 of recurrent subequivalence relations gives rise to a nonamenable factor L(mathcalR) with a unique Cartan subalgebra, up to unitary conjugacy. Finally, we prove unique Cartan decomposition for a class of group measure space factors Linfty(X)timesGamma arising from nonsingular free ergodic actions Gammacurvearrowright(X,mu) on standard measure spaces of amalgamated groups Gamma=Gamma1astSigmaGamma2 over a finite subgroup Sigma.
