Abstract: We study equivalence relations $mathcalR(GammacurvearrowrightG)$ that arise from left translation actions of countable groups on their profinite completions. Under the assumption that the action $GammacurvearrowrightG$ is free and has spectral gap, we describe precisely when $mathcalR(GammacurvearrowrightG)$ is orbit equivalent or Borel reducible to another such equivalence relation $mathcalR(LambdacurvearrowrightH)$. As a consequence, we provide explicit uncountable families of free ergodic probability measure preserving (p.m.p.) profinite actions of $S{L}_2(mathbbZ)$ and its non-amenable subgroups (e.g. $mathbb{F}_n$, with $2leqslantnleqslantinfty$) whose orbit equivalence relations are mutually not orbit equivalent and not Borel reducible. In particular, we show that if $S$ and $T$ are distinct sets of primes, then the orbit equivalence relations associated to the actions $S{L}_2(mathbbZ)curvearrowrightpro{d}_{pinS}S{L}_2(mathbb{Z}_p)$ and $S{L}_2(mathbbZ)curvearrowrightpro{d}_{pinT}S{L}_2(mathbb{Z}_p)$ are neither orbit equivalent nor Borel reducible. This settles a conjecture of S. Thomas cite{Th06}. Other applications include the first calculations of outer automorphism groups for concrete treeable p.m.p. equivalence relations, and the first concrete examples of free ergodic p.m.p. actions of $mathbb{F}_{infty}$ whose orbit equivalence relations have trivial fundamental group.
