Superrigidity of maximal measurable cocycles of complex hyperbolic lattices (Q2070937)

Torsion-free lattices in projective pseudo-unitary groups \(\mathrm{PU}(p, 1)\) \((p \ge 2)\) are investigated and some variant of superrigidity is proved. The article uses many special concepts and therefore many definitions are given. The main result is the follows. Let \(\Gamma \subset \mathrm{PU}(p, 1)\) is a torsion-free lattice and let \((X, \mu X)\) is an ergodic standard Borel probability \(\Gamma\)-space. If \(\sigma : \Gamma \times X \to \mathrm{SU}(m, n)\) is a maximal Zariski dense measurable cocycle, then it is cohomologous to the restriction of a cocycle associated to a representation \(\rho: \mathrm{PU}p, 1) \to \mathrm{SU}(m, n)\). To prove this result some general result is proved. Let \(\Gamma\) be a locally compact and second countable group and let \(H\) be a simple Lie group of non-compact type. Let \((X, \mu X)\) be an ergodic standard Borel probability \(\Gamma\)-space and let \(\sigma : \Gamma \times X \to H\) be a Zariski dense measurable cocycle. Then, for any \(\Gamma\)-boundary \(B\) there exists a \(\sigma\)-equivariant map \(\phi : B \times X \to H/P\) where \(P \subset H\) is a minimal parabolic subgroup. Some additional results are proved.
