Infinite multiplicity of abelian subalgebras in free group subfactors

Summary: We obtain an estimate of Voiculescu's (modified) free entropy dimension for generators of a II$_1$-factor $\mathcal{M}$ with a subfactor $\mathcal{N}$ containing an abelian subalgebra $\mathcal{A}$ of finite multiplicity. It implies in particular that the interpolated free group subfactors of finite Jones index do not have abelian subalgebras of finite multiplicity or Cartan subalgebras.
