Jul 12, 2017 at 3:06 comment added Narutaka OZAWA The result is a $\mathrm{II}_1$ analogue of a very well-known fact in matrix theory and seems to be rediscovered a few times. See for e.g., the recent paper of Dykema--Skoufranis for the reference. arxiv.org/abs/1503.05766

Jul 12, 2017 at 1:46 comment added Jon Bannon @Narutaka OZAWA: I was hoping that this was the case! Do you happen to have a reference to Hiai's paper? If not, I will find it.
Jul 12, 2017 at 1:41 comment added Narutaka OZAWA I think there is no such examples. By results of Hiai etc, a positive element $a$ in a $\mathrm{II}_1$ factor is in the norm- or weak*-closure of the convex hull of the unitary orbit of $x$ iff (the trace distribution function of) $a$ is majorized by $x$. That $E_N(x)$ is majorized by $x$ is proved in [Arveson and Kadison; Diagonals of self-adjoint operators] (it is stated there for masas $N$, but the proof works for general $N$).
