Title: Asymptotic orthogonalization of subalgebras in II$_1$ factors,
Abstract: Let $M$ be a II$_1$ factor with a von Neumann subalgebra $Q\subset M$ that
has infinite index under any projection in $Q'\cap M$ (e.g., $Q$ abelian; or
$Q$ an irreducible subfactor with infinite Jones index). We prove that given
any separable subalgebra $B$ of the ultrapower II$_1$ factor $M^\omega$, for a
non-principal ultrafilter $\omega$ on $\Bbb N$, there exists a unitary element
$u\in M^\omega$ such that $uBu^*$ is orthogonal to $Q^\omega$.
