Abstract

For a certain pair of discrete measured ergodic equivalence relations, we specify how one is imbedded into the other and obtain a factor and its subfactor. For this pair of factors index theory is developed. We obtain an index formula, an ‘extended’ relation corresponding to the basic extension, and so on. Our formulas as well as construction are very explicit and are given in terms of ‘measure theoretic’ data. We also present examples showing the contrast between type III0 index theory and type II1 (or IIIλ) index theory.
