Abstract

Let GG be SNS_{\mathbb{N}}, the finitary permutation (i.e. permutations with finite support) group on positive integers N\mathbb{N}. We prove that GG has the invariant von Neumann subalgebras rigidity (ISR, for short) property as introduced in Amrutam-Jiang's work. More precisely, every GG-invariant von Neumann subalgebra PL(G)P\subseteq L(G) is of the form L(H)L(H) for some normal sugbroup HGH\lhd G and in this case, H={e},ANH=\{e\}, A_{\mathbb{N}} or GG, where ANA_{\mathbb{N}} denotes the finitary alternating group on N\mathbb{N}, i.e. the subgroup of all even permutations in SNS_{\mathbb{N}}. This gives the first known example of an infinite amenable group with the ISR property.
