Abstract: The main result of this paper is a generalization of Popa's free independence result for subalgebras of ultraproduct mII1 factors [Po95] to the framework of ultraproduct von Neumann algebras (Momega,varphiomega) where (M,varphi) is a sigma-finite von Neumann algebra endowed with a faithful normal state satisfying (Mvarphi)capM=mathbfC1. More precisely, we show that whenever P1,P2subsetMomega are von Neumann subalgebras with separable predual that are globally invariant under the modular automorphism group (sigmatvarphiomega), there exists a unitary vinmathcalU((Momega)varphiomega) such that P1 and vP2v are ast-free inside Momega with respect to the ultraproduct state varphiomega. Combining our main result with the recent work of Ando-Haagerup-Winslo w [AHW13], we obtain a new and direct proof, without relying on Connes-Tomita-Takesaki modular theory, that Kirchberg's quotient weak expectation property (QWEP) for von Neumann algebras is stable under free product. Finally, we obtain a new class of inclusions of von Neumann algebras with the relative Dixmier property.
