Abstract: We investigate the asymptotic structure of (possibly type III) crossed product von Neumann algebras $M=BtimesGamma$ arising from arbitrary actions $GammacurvearrowrightB$ of bi-exact discrete groups (e.g. free groups) on amenable von Neumann algebras. We prove a spectral gap rigidity result for the central sequence algebra $N^{\prime }cap{M}^{o}mega$ of any nonamenable von Neumann subalgebra with normal expectation $NsubsetM$. We use this result to show that for any strongly ergodic essentially free nonsingular action $Gammacurvearrowright(X,mu)$ of any bi-exact countable discrete group on a standard probability space, the corresponding group measure space factor ${mL}^{i}nfty(X)timesGamma$ has no nontrivial central sequence. Using recent results of Boutonnet-Ioana-Salehi Golsefidy [BISG15], we construct, for every $0<lambdaleq1$, a type III${}_{l}ambda$ strongly ergodic essentially free nonsingular action $mathbf{F}_{i}nftycurvearrowright(X_{l}ambda,m{u}_{l}ambda)$ of the free group $mathbf{F}_{i}nfty$ on a standard probability space so that the corresponding group measure space type III${}_{l}ambda$ factor ${mL}^{i}nfty(X_{l}ambda,m{u}_{l}ambda)timesmathbf{F}_{i}nfty$ has no nontrivial central sequence by our main result. In particular, we obtain the first examples of group measure space type III factors with no nontrivial central sequence.
