Abstract

For an inclusion of the form CMn(C)\Bbb C\subseteq M_n(\Bbb C), where Mn(C)M_n(\Bbb C) is endowed with a state with diagonal weights λ=(λ1,...,λn)\lambda=(\lambda_1, ..., \lambda_n), we use Popa's construction, for non-tracial states, to obtain an irreducible inclusion of II1II_1 factors, Nλ(Q)Mλ(Q)N^\lambda(Q)\subseteq M^\lambda(Q) of index 1λi\sum \frac{1}{\lambda_i}. Mλ(Q)M^\lambda(Q) is identified with a subfactor inside the centralizer algebra of the canonical free product state on QMN(C)Q\star M_N(\Bbb C). Its structure is described by ``infinite'' semicircular elements as in \cite{Ra3}. The irreducible subfactor inclusions obtained by this method are similar to the first irreducible subfactor inclusions, of index in [4,)[4,\infty) constructed in \cite {Po1}, starting with the Jones' subfactors inclusion RsRR^s\subseteq R, s>4s>4. In the present paper, since the inclusion we start with has a simpler structure, it is easier to control the algebra structure of the subfactor inclusions.
