Abstract

Let G be a connected semisimple real algebraic group. Assume that G(R) has no compact factors and let Gamma be a torsionfree uniform lattice subgroup of G(R). Then Gamma contains a malnormal abelian subgroup A. This implies that the II_1 factor VN(Gamma) contains a masa A with Pukánszky invariant {infinity}.
