What the paper claims, in its own words

Proves Connes' bicentralizer conjecture for every type III1 factor with separable predual and every faithful normal state. More generally, for every inclusion N⊂MN\subset M of von Neumann algebras with separable preduals admitting a faithful normal conditional expectation, constructs an amenable expected subalgebra P⊂NP\subset N with P′∩c(M)=N′∩c(M)P'\cap c(M)=N'\cap c(M), resolving the relative bicentralizer conjecture.
