Abstract

Using an approach emerging from the theory of closable derivations on von Neumann algebras, we exhibit a class of groups CR satisfying the following property: given any groups Γ1; , Γ2 ∈ CR, then any free, ergodic, measure-preserving action on a probability space Γ1; , Γ2 → X gives rise to a von Neumann algebra with a unique group-measure space Cartan subalgebra. Pairing this result with Popa's orbit equivalence superrigidity theorem we obtain new examples of W*-superrigid actions. © 2013.
