Abstract: We consider a new orbit equivalence invariant for measure-preserving actions of groups on the probability space, sigma:Go Aut(X,mu), denoted chi0(sigma;G) and defined as the "intersection" of the 1-cohomology group, H1(sigma,G), with Connes' chi(M) invariant of the cross product von Neumann algebra, M=Linfty(X,mu)timessigmaG. We calculate chi0(sigma;G) for certain actions of groups of the form G=HimesK with H non-amenable and K infinite amenable and we deduce that any such group has uncountably many orbit inequivalent actions.
