Abstract

Given an inclusion of II1_1 factors NMN\subset M with finite Jones index, [M:N]<[M:N]<\infty, we prove that for any FMF\subset M finite and ε>0\varepsilon >0, there exists a partition of 11 with r16ε2r\leq \lceil 16\varepsilon^{-2}\rceil 4[M:N]ε2\cdot \lceil 4 [M:N]\varepsilon^{-2}\rceil projections p1,...,prNp_1, ..., p_r\in N such that i=1rpixpiENM(x)εxENM(x)\|\sum_{i=1}^r p_ixp_i - E_{N'\cap M}(x)\|\leq \varepsilon \|x-E_{N'\cap M}(x)\|, xF\forall x\in F (where β\lceil \beta \rceil denotes the least integer β\geq \beta). We consider a series of related invariants for NMN\subset M, generically called {\it paving size}.
