Abstract

Developing new techniques at the interface of geometric group theory and von Neumann algebras, we identify the first examples of ICC groups 𝐺 whose von Neumann algebras are McDuff and exhibit a new rigidity phenomenon, termed McDuff superrigidity: an arbitrary group 𝐻 satisfying (𝐻 ) ≅ (𝐺) decomposes as 𝐻 ≅ 𝐺 × 𝐴 for an ICC amenable group 𝐴.
