Abstract
If a factor is full then every approximately inner automorphism is inner. We have the following generalization: If a factor
is full, then the any correspondence of
weakly equivalent to the trivial correspondence must contain the trivial correspondence. This generalization provides a perspective that allows us to prove that if
is a coamenable inclusion with faithful, normal conditional expectation and
a full factor, then there is a nonzero
so that
is full. As a corollary, this affirmatively answers Problem 3.3.2 of Popa's correspondences preprint from 1986. Furthermore, we use this to prove that if a compact group
acts on a full factor
then the action is minimal, i.e.
. Consequently, for any such action by results of Izumi, Longo and Popa there is a Galois correspondence between the intermediate subalgebras of
and fixed point subalgebras of the closed subgroups of
.
