%0 Journal Article %T A splitting property for subalgebras of tensor products %A Liming Ge %J Mathematics %D 1995 %I arXiv %X We prove a basic result about tensor products of a $\text{II}_1$ factor with a finite von Neumann algebra and use it to answer, affirmatively, a question asked by S. Popa about maximal injective factors. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/9501228v1
