Random matrices, amalgamated free products and subfactors of the von Neumann algebra of a free group, of noninteger index. (English) Zbl 0861.46038

Invent. Math. 115, No. 2, 347-389 (1994).
From the introduction: We introduce in this paper a noncommutative probability approach (in the sense considered by D. Voiculescu) to the algebras that are associated to certain amalgamated free products. In this way we find that the type \(\text{II}_1\) factors associated to the free, noncommutative groups \(F_N\), \(N\geq 2\) have a rich lattice of irreducible subfactors of noninteger index. Our main result states that many index values for irreducible subfactors of the hyperfinite \(\text{II}_1\) factor are also index values for irreducible subfactors of \({\mathcal L}(F_N)\). This answers a question raised by V. F. R. Jones [Operator algebras and applications, Vol. 2, Lond. Math. Soc., Lect. Notes Ser. 136, 103-118 (1988; Zbl 0692.46049)].
