Cocycle and orbit equivalence superrigidity for malleable actions of w-rigid groups
"... Abstract. We prove that if a countable discrete group Γ is w-rigid, i.e. it contains an infinite normal subgroup H with the relative property (T) (e.g. Γ = SL(2, Z) ⋉ Z 2, or Γ = H × H ′ with H an infinite Kazhdan group and H ′ arbitrary), and V is a closed subgroup of the group of unitaries of a f ..."

Abstract. We prove that if a countable discrete group Γ is w-rigid, i.e. it contains an infinite normal subgroup H with the relative property (T) (e.g. Γ = SL(2, Z) ⋉ Z 2, or Γ = H × H ′ with H an infinite Kazhdan group and H ′ arbitrary), and V is a closed subgroup of the group of unitaries of a finite separable von Neumann algebra (e.g. V countable discrete, or separable compact), then any V-valued measurable cocycle for a measure preserving action Γ � X of Γ on a probability space (X, µ) which is weak mixing on H and s-malleable (e.g. the Bernoulli action Γ � [0,1] Γ) is cohomologous to a group morphism of Γ into V. We use the case V discrete of this result to prove that if in addition Γ has no non-trivial finite normal subgroups then any orbit equivalence between Γ � X and a free ergodic measure preserving action of a countable group Λ is implemented by a conjugacy of the actions, with respect to some group isomorphism Γ ≃ Λ. There has recently been increasing interest in the study of measure preserving actions of groups on (non-atomic) probability spaces up to orbit equivalence (OE), i.e. up to isomorphisms of probability spaces taking the orbits of one action onto the orbits of

This paper is a contribution to the study of Borel equivalence relations in standard Borel spaces, i.e., Polish spaces equipped with their Borel structure. A class of such equivalence relations which has received particular attention is the class of hyperfinite Borel equivalence relations. These can be defined as the increasing unions of sequences of Borel equivalence relations all of whose equivalence classes are finite or, as it turns out, equivalently those induced by the orbits of a single Borel automorphism. Hyperfinite equivalence relations have been classified in [DJK], under two notions of equivalence, Borel bi-reducibility, and Borel isomorphism. An equivalence relation E on X is Borel reducible to an equivalence relation F on Y if there is a Borel map f: X → Y with xEy ⇔ f(x)Ff(y). We write then E ≤ F. If E ≤ Fand F ≤ E we say that E,F are Borel bi-reducible, in symbols E ≈ ∗ F.When E ≈ ∗ Fthe quotient spaces X/E, Y/F have the same “effective ” or “definable ” cardinality. We say that E,F are Borel isomorphic if there exists a Borel bijection f: X → Y with xEy ⇔ f(x)Ff(y). Below we denote by E0,Et the equivalence relations on the Cantor space 2 N given by: xE0y ⇔

This paper is a contribution to the study of Borel equivalence relations on standard Borel spaces (i.e., Polish spaces equipped with their Borel structure). In mathematics one often deals with problems of classification of objects up to some notion of equivalence by invariants. Frequently these objects can be viewed as elements of a standard Borel space X and the equivalence turns out to be a Borel equivalence relation E on X. A complete classification of X up to E consists of finding a set of invariants I and a map c: X → I such that xEy ⇔ c(x) =c(y). For this to be of any interest both I and c must be explicit or definable and as simple and concrete as possible. The theory of Borel equivalence relations studies the set-theoretic nature of possible invariants and develops a mathematical framework for measuring the complexity of such classification problems. In organizing this study, the following concept of reducibility is fundamental. Let E,F be equivalence relations on standard Borel spaces X, Y, resp. We say that E is Borel reducible to F,insymbols, E ≤B F,

We show that every minimal action of any finitely generated abelian group on the Cantor set is (topologically) orbit equivalent to an AF relation. As a consequence, this extends the classification up to orbit equivalence of minimal dynamical systems on the Cantor set to include AF relations and Zd-actions.
