Abstract: We provide a fairly large family of amalgamated free product groups $Gamma=Gamm{a}_{1}as{t}_{Sigma}Gamm{a}_2$ whose amalgam structure can be completely recognized from their von Neumann algebras. Specifically, assume that $Gamm{a}_i$ is a product of two icc non-amenable bi-exact (e.g., hyperbolic) groups, and $Sigma$ is icc amenable and has trivial one-sided commensurator in $Gamm{a}_i$, for every $iin1,2$. Then $Gamma$ satisfies the following rigidity property: any group $La$ such that $L(La)$ is isomorphic to $L(G)$ admits an amalgamated free product decomposition $La=L{a}_{1}as{t}_{D}eltaL{a}_2$ such that the inclusions $L(Delta)subseteqL(L{a}_i)$ and $L(Sigma)subseteqL(G_i)$ are isomorphic, for every $iin1,2$. This result significantly strengthens some of the previous Bass-Serre rigidity results for von Neumann algebras. As a corollary, we obtain the first examples of amalgamated free product groups which are W${}^{\ast }$-superrigid.
