The exotic II_1 factor

In https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.10645, Chifan Ioana and Kunnawalkam Elayavalli construct a separable II_1 factor without property Gamma and which is not elementarily equivalent to any II_1 factor with positive 1-bounded entropy (e.g. free group factors). We present the construction of this II_1 factor.
