Abstract

An essentially free group action Gamma curved right arrow (X, mu) is called W*-supeffigid if the crossed product von Neumann algebra L-infinity (X) x Gamma completely remembers the group Gamma and its action on (X, mu). We prove W*-superrigidity for a class of infinite measure preserving actions, in particular for natural dense subgroups of isometries of the hyperbolic plane. The main tool is a new cocycle superrigidity theorem for dense subgroups of Lie groups acting by translation. We also provide numerous countable type II1 equivalence relations that cannot be implemented by an essentially free action of a group, both of geometric nature and through a wreath product construction.
