W^-superrigidity of mixing Gaussian actions of rigid groups

Abstract: We generalize W*-superrigidity results about Bernoulli actions of rigid groups to general mixing Gaussian actions. We thus obtain the following: If Gamma is any ICC group which is w-rigid (i.e. it contains an infinite normal subgroup with the relative property (T)) then any mixing Gaussian action sigma of Gamma is W*-superrigid. More precisely, if ho is another free ergodic action of a group Lambda such that the crossed-product von Neumann algebras associated with ho and sigma are isomorphic, then Lambda and Gamma are isomorphic, and the actions ho and sigma are conjugate. We prove a similar statement whenever Gamma is a non-amenable ICC product of two infinite groups.
