Abstract: In this paper we introduce a new class of non-amenable groups denoted by $$ which give rise to $extitprime$ von Neumann algebras. This means that for every $$ its group von Neumann algebra $L(Gamma)$ cannot be decomposed as a tensor product of diffuse von Neumann algebras. We show $$ is fairly large as it contains many examples of groups intensively studied in various areas of mathematics, notably: all infinite central quotients of pure surface braid groups; all mapping class groups of (punctured) surfaces of genus $0,1,2$; most Torelli groups and Johnson kernels of (punctured) surfaces of genus $0,1,2$; and, all groups hyperbolic relative to finite families of residually finite, exact, infinite, proper subgroups.
