Abstract

We calculate the microstates free entropy dimension of natural generators in an amalgamated free product of certain von Neumann algebras, with amalgamation over a hyperfinite subalgebra. In particular, some 'exotic' Popa algebra generators of free group factors are shown to have the expected free entropy dimension. We also show that microstates and non-microstates free entropy dimension agree for generating sets of many groups. In the appendix, the first L²-Betti number for certain amalgamated free products of groups is calculated.
