Abstract

A hyperfinite II1II_1 subfactor may be obtained from a symmetric commuting square via iteration of the basic construction. For certain commuting squares constructed from Hadamard matrices, we describe this subfactor as a group-type inclusion RHRKR^H \subset R \rtimes K, where HH and KK are finite groups with outer actions on the hyperfinite II1II_1 factor RR. We find the group of outer automorphisms generated by HH and KK, and use the method of Bisch and Haagerup to determine the principal and dual principal graphs. In some cases a complete classification is obtained by examining the element of H3(HK/IntR)H^3(H \ast K / Int R) associated with the action.
