Abstract: This paper includes a series of structural results for von Neumann algebras arising from measure preserving actions by product groups on probability spaces. Expanding upon the methods used earlier by the first two authors cite{CS}, we obtain new examples of strongly solid factors as well as von Neumann algebras with unique or no Cartan subalgebra. For instance we show that every II1 factor associated with a weakly amenable group in the class mathcalS of Ozawa is strongly solid, cite{OzSolid}. There is also the following product version of this result: any maximal abelian star-subalgebra of any II1 factor associated with a finite product of weakly amenable groups in the class mathcalS of Ozawa has an amenable normalizing algebra. Finally, pairing some of these results with cocycle superrigidity results from cite{IoaCSR}, it follows that compact actions by finite products of lattices in Sp(n,1), ngeq2, are virtually W-superrigid.
