Abstract: A conjecture of Kadison and Kastler from 1972 asks whether sufficiently close operator algebras in a natural uniform sense must be small unitary perturbations of one another. For $ngeq3$ and a free ergodic probability measure preserving action of $S{L}_n(mathbbZ)$ on a standard nonatomic probability space $(X,mu)$, write $M=((L^{i}nfty(X,mu)timesS{L}_n(mathbbZ)),overlineotimes,R$, where $R$ is the hyperfinite II${}_1$ factor. We show that whenever $M$ is represented as a von Neumann algebra on some Hilbert space $mathcalH$ and $NsubseteqmathcalB(mathcalH)$ is sufficiently close to $M$, then there is a unitary $u$ on $mathcalH$ close to the identity operator with $uM{u}^{\ast }=N$. This provides the first nonamenable class of von Neumann algebras satisfying Kadison and Kastler's conjecture. We also obtain stability results for crossed products $L^{i}nfty(X,mu)timesGamma$ whenever the comparison map from the bounded to usual group cohomology vanishes in degree 2 for the module $L^2(X,mu)$. In this case, any von Neumann algebra sufficiently close to such a crossed product is necessarily isomorphic to it. In particular, this result applies when $Gamma$ is a free group.
