We investigate the asymptotic structure of (possibly type III) crossed product von Neumann algebrasarising from arbitrary actionsof bi-exact discrete groups (e.g. free groups) on amenable von Neumann algebras. We prove a spectral gap rigidity result for the central sequence algebraof any nonamenable von Neumann subalgebra with normal expectation. We use this result to show that for any strongly ergodic essentially free nonsingular actionof any bi-exact countable discrete group on a standard probability space, the corresponding group measure space factorhas no nontrivial central sequence. Using recent results of Boutonnet et al. (Local spectral gap in simple Lie groups and applications, 2015), we construct, for every, a typestrongly ergodic essentially free nonsingular actionof the free groupon a standard probability space so that the corresponding group measure space typefactorhas no nontrivial central sequence by our main result. In particular, we obtain the first examples of group measure space typefactors with no nontrivial central sequence.
