Abstract

We show that when M,N1,N2M,N_{1},N_{2} are tracial von Neumann algebras with MMωM'\cap M^{\omega} abelian, M(MˉN1)ωM'\cap(M\bar{\otimes}N_{1})^{\omega} and M(MˉN2)ωM'\cap(M\bar{\otimes}N_{2})^{\omega} commute in (MˉN1ˉN2)ω(M\bar{\otimes}N_{1}\bar{\otimes}N_{2})^{\omega}. As a consequence, we obtain information on McDuff decompositions of II1\rm{II}_{1} factors of the form MˉNM\bar{\otimes}N, where MM is a non-McDuff factor.
