Abstract
Using an extension of techniques of Ozawa and Popa, we give an example of a non-amenable strongly solid factor containing an "exotic" maximal abelian subalgebra : as an ,-bimodule, is neither coarse nor discrete. Thus we show that there exist factors with such property but without Cartan subalgebras. It also follows from Voiculescu's free entropy results that is not an interpolated free group factor, yet it is strongly solid and has both the Haagerup property and the complete metric approximation property.
