Intermediate subalgebras of cross-product von Neumann algebras arising from weakly compact actions
Abstract
In this short paper, we establish the following Galois-type property for all measure-preserving, weakly compact actions $G \curvearrowright (X,μ) $ of a non-inner amenable group G on a standard probability space X: for any intermediate von Neumann subalgebra ℒ(G)⊆ 𝒩 ⊆ L∞ (X)rtimes G, there is a factor Gcurvearrowright Y of G curvearrowright X such that 𝒩= L∞(Y)rtimes G. In particular, this holds for all pmp distal actions Gcurvearrowright X, thereby answering positively an open problem from \cite{BCCMSW24} (which can also be traced back to \cite{CD20}). We also provide an example showing our result is optimal.
