A class of groups for which every action is W\(^\ast\)-superrigid (Q374099)

Summary: We prove the uniqueness of the group measure space Cartan subalgebra in crossed products \(A \rtimes \Gamma\) covering certain cases where \(\Gamma\) is an amalgamated free product over a non-amenable subgroup. In combination with Kida's work we deduce that if \(\Sigma <\text{SL}(3,\mathbb{Z})\) denotes the subgroup of matrices \(g\) with \(g_{31} = g_{32}=0\), then any free ergodic probability measure preserving action of \(\Gamma = \text{SL}(3,\mathbb{Z})\ast_\Sigma \text{SL}(3,\mathbb{Z})\) is stably W\(^\ast\)-superrigid. In the second part we settle a technical issue about the unitary conjugacy of group measure space Cartan subalgebras.
