Relative solidity conjecture for biexact groups

About 1 year old · traced to

Let Γ\Gamma be a biexact group acting trace-preservingly on a von Neumann algebra NN, and let

M:=N⋊Γ.M:=N\rtimes\Gamma.

Let P,Q⊂MP,Q\subset M be commuting von Neumann subalgebras. Relative solidity conjecture. One has P≺MNP\prec_M N or QQ is amenable relative to NN inside MM. This property is known for hyperbolic groups and, more generally, for groups with the relative strong solidity property; whether it holds for all biexact groups is open and is a central difficulty in extending the unique prime factorization theorem to products of nonamenable biexact groups.
