Deformation and rigidity for group actions and von Neumann algebras
We present some recent rigidity results for von Neumann algebras (II1 factors) and equivalence relations arising from measure preserving actions of groups on probability spaces which satisfy a combination of deformation and rigidity properties. This includes strong rigidity results for factors with calculation of their fundamental group and cocycle superrigidity for actions with applications to...
متن کاملIsomorphism invariants for actions of sofic groups
For every countable group G, a family of isomorphism invariants for measurepreserving G-actions on probability spaces is defined. In the special case in which G is a countable sofic group, a special class of these invariants are computed exactly for Bernoulli systems over G. This leads to a complete classification of Bernoulli systems for many countable groups including all finitely generated l...
متن کاملFree Product Actions with Relative Property (T) and Trivial Outer Automorphism Groups
We show that every non-amenable free product of groups admits free ergodic probability measure preserving actions which have relative property (T) in the sense of S. Popa [Pop06, Def. 4.1]. There are continuum many such actions up to orbit equivalence and von Neumann equivalence, and they may be chosen to be conjugate to any prescribed action when restricted to the free factors. We exhibit also...
متن کاملOrbit equivalence rigidity
Consider a countable group Γ acting ergodically by measure preserving transformations on a probability space (X,μ), and let RΓ be the corresponding orbit equivalence relation on X. The following rigidity phenomenon is shown: there exist group actions such that the equivalence relation RΓ on X determines the group Γ and the action (X,μ,Γ) uniquely, up to finite groups. The natural action of SLn(...
متن کاملStrong Rigidity of Ii1 Factors Coming from Malleable Actions of Weakly Rigid Groups, I
We consider cross-product II1 factors M = N⋊σG, with G discrete ICC groups that contain infinite normal subgroups with the relative property (T) and σ : G → AutN trace preserving actions of G on finite von Neumann algebras N that are “malleable” and mixing. Examples are the weighted Bernoulli and Bogoliubov shifts. We prove a rigidity result, showing the uniqueness of the position of L(G) insid...
