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,Γ2CR, then any free, ergodic, measure-preserving action on a probability space Γ1×Γ2X 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.
