Abstract: It is well-known that the equality ${\displaystyle }$L^{}_{G}ominus L^{}_{H}=�ar{mathrm{span}{L_{g}:gin G-H}^{mathrm{SOT}}}${\displaystyle }$ holds for $G$ an i.c.c. group and $H$ a subgroup in $G$, where $L_G^{}$ and $L_H^{}$ are the corresponding group von Neumann algebras and $L_G^{}ominus{L}_H^{}$ is the set $xin{L}_G^{}:E_{L_H^{}}^{}(x)=0$ with $E_{L_H^{}}^{}$ the conditional expectation defined from $L_G^{}$ onto $L_H^{}$. Inspired by this, it is natural to ask whether the equality ${\displaystyle }$Nominus A=�ar{mathrm{span}{u: umbox{is unitary in}Nominus A}^{mathrm{SOT}}}${\displaystyle }$ holds for $N$ a type $mbox{II}_1^{}$ factor and $A$ a von Neumann subalgebra of $N$. In this paper, we give an affirmative answer to this question for the case $A$ a type I von Neumann algebra.
