Abstract

We classify all GG-invariant von Neumann subalgebras in L(G)L(G) for G=Z2SL2(Z)G=\mathbb{Z}^2\rtimes SL_2(\mathbb{Z}). This is the first result on classifying GG-invariant von Neumann subalgebras in L(G)L(G) for i.c.c. groups GG without the invariant von Neumann subalgebras rigidity property (ISR property for short) as introduced in Amrutam-Jiang's work. As a corollary, we show that L(Z2{±I2})L(\mathbb{Z}^2\rtimes \{\pm I_2\}) is the unique maximal Haagerup GG-invariant von Neumann subalgebra in L(G)L(G), where I2I_2 denotes the identity matrix in SL2(Z)SL_2(\mathbb{Z}).
