In this continuation of my talk from last week, I will introduce the notion of a spectral gap subalgebra of a tracial von Neumann algebra and show how it connects to the definability of relative commutants.  I will also mention some applications of these results.  I will introduce all notions needed from the theory of von Neumann algebras.
