Equality of analytic and algebraic bicentralizers for amenable groups
Prove that the analytic and algebraic relative bicentralizers coincide for every trace-preserving action of an amenable locally compact group on a tracial inclusion $(M,\tau)\subset(N,\tau)$, namely establish $(M\subset N,\alpha)_{\mathrm{analytic}}=(M\subset N,\alpha)_{\mathrm{algebraic}}$.

We conjecture that they agree for amenable groups and prove triviality of the bicentralizer for strictly outer actions of amenable groups with a compact open subgroup, as well as for free Bogoljubov actions of amenable groups on free Gaussian factors.
