Peterson's unique maximal amenable extension conjecture for free group factors

About 11 years old · traced to

Let L(Fn)L(\mathbb{F}_n) be a free group factor and let B⊂L(Fn)B\subset L(\mathbb{F}_n) be a diffuse amenable subalgebra. A maximal amenable extension of BB is an amenable subalgebra of L(Fn)L(\mathbb{F}_n) containing BB that is maximal with respect to inclusion. Peterson's conjecture. Every diffuse amenable subalgebra of a free group factor L(Fn)L(\mathbb{F}_n) has a unique maximal amenable extension inside L(Fn)L(\mathbb{F}_n). This conjecture proposes a stronger structural property than strong solidity for free group factors, asserting uniqueness of the maximal amenable enlargement of every diffuse amenable subalgebra; its status is not resolved in the supplied context.
