Two full factors with non-isomorphic ultrapowers

Abstract:

I will show you how to construct a full factor $M$ such that $M$ and $L(F_2)$ do not have any isomorphic ultrapowers.  The construction uses a combination of techniques from deformation/rigidity and free entropy theory.  We also provide the first example of a $\mathrm{II}_1$ factor that is full such that its ultrapower is strongly $1$-bounded.  This is joint work with Adrian Ioana and Ionut Chifan.
