We show that whenever m≥ 1 and M 1,…, M m are nonamenable factors in a large class of von Neumann algebras that we call C (AO) and which contains all free Araki–Woods factors, the tensor product factor M 1⊗‾⋯⊗‾ M m retains the integer m and each factor M i up to stable isomorphism, after permutation of the indices. Our approach unifies the Unique Prime Factorization (UPF) results from [33],[25] and moreover provides new UPF results in the case when M 1,…, M m are free Araki–Woods factors. In order to obtain the aforementioned UPF results, we show that Connes's bicentralizer problem has a positive solution for all type I I I 1 factors in the class C (AO).
