Abstract: In the context of Free Probability Theory, we study two different constructions that provide new examples of factors of type mII1 with prescribed fundamental group. First we investigate state-preserving group actions on the almost periodic free Araki-Woods factors satisfying both a condition of mixing and a condition of free malleability in the sense of Popa. Typical examples are given by the free Bogoliubov shifts. Take an ICC w-rigid group G such that mathcalF(L(G))=1 (e.g. ). For any countable subgroup SsubsetR+∗, we show that there exists an action of G on L(Finfty) such that L(Finfty)timesG is a type mII1 factor and its fundamental group is S. The second construction is based on a free product. Take (B(H),psi) any factor of type mI endowed with a faithful normal state and denote by GammasubsetR+∗ the subgroup generated by the point spectrum of psi. We show that the centralizer (L(G)astB(H))auastpsi is a type mII1 factor and its fundamental group is Gamma. Our proofs rely on Popa's deformation/rigidity strategy using his intertwining-by-bimodules technique.
