We show that every binary shift on the hyperfinite $II_1$ factor $R$ is cocycle conjugate to at least countably many non-conjugate binary shifts. This holds in particular for binary shifts of infinite commutant index.
Let Γbe the convex set consisting of all marginal tracial states on the tensor product B \otimes B of the algebra B of nxn matrices over the complex numbers. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for such a state to be extremal in Γ. We also give a characterization of those extreme points in Γwhich are pure states. We conjecture that all extremal marginal tracial states are pure states.
