Abstract:
We prove several unique prime factorization results for tensor products of type II1 factors coming from groups that can be realized either as subgroups of hyperbolic groups or as discrete subgroups of connected Lie groups of real rank 1. In particular, we show that if is isomorphic to a subfactor in , for some 2ri,sj, then mn. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000) Primary 46L10; Secondary 20F67
