  A triple of finite von Neumann algebras $B\subseteq N\subseteq M$ is said to
have the relative weak asymptotic homomorphism property if there exists a net
of unitary operators $\{u_{\lambda}\}_{\lambda\in \Lambda}$ in $B$ such that
$$\lim_{\lambda}|\mathbb{E}}_B(xu_{\lambda}y)-{\mathbb{E}}_B({\mathbb{E}}_N(x)u_{\lambda}{\mathbb{E}}_N(y))\|_2=0$$
for all $x,y\in M$. We prove that a triple of finite von Neumann algebras
$B\subseteq N\subseteq M$ has the relative weak asymptotic homomorphism
property if and only if $N$ contains the set of all $x\in M$ such that
$Bx\subseteq \sum_{i=1}^n x_iB$ for a finite number of elements $x_1,...,x_n$
in $M$. Such an $x$ is called a one sided quasi-normalizer of $B$, and the von
Neumann algebra generated by all one sided quasi-normalizers of $B$ is called
the one sided quasi-normalizer algebra of $B$.
  We characterize one sided quasi-normalizer algebras for inclusions of group
von Neumann algebras and use this to show that one sided quasi-normalizer
algebras and quasi-normalizer algebras are not equal in general. We also give
some applications to inclusions $L(H)\subseteq L(G)$ arising from containments
of groups. For example, when $L(H)$ is a masa we determine the unitary
normalizer algebra as the von Neumann algebra generated by the normalizers of
$H$ in $G$.
