Orbit equivalence rigidity for product actions

Abstract: Let

G a m m a_{1}, d o t s, G a m m a_{n}

be hyperbolic, property (T) groups, for some

n g e 1

. We prove that if a product

G a m m a_{1} i m e s d o t s i m e s G a m m a_{n} c u r v e a r r o w r i g h t X_{1} i m e s d o t s i m e s X_{n}

of measure preserving actions is stably orbit equivalent to a measure preserving action

L a m b d a c u r v e a r r o w r i g h t Y

, then

L a m b d a c u r v e a r r o w r i g h t Y

is induced from an action

L a m b d a_{0} c u r v e a r r o w r i g h t Y_{0}

such that there exists a direct product decomposition

L a m b d a_{0} = L a m b d a_{1} i m e s d o t s i m e s L a m b d a_{n}

into

n

infinite groups. Moreover, there exists a measure preserving action

L a m b d a_{i} c u r v e a r r o w r i g h t Y_{i}

that is stably orbit equivalent to

G a m m a_{i} c u r v e a r r o w r i g h t X_{i}

, for any

1 l e q i l e q n

, and the product action

L a m b d a_{1} i m e s d o t s i m e s L a m b d a_{n} c u r v e a r r o w r i g h t Y_{1} i m e s d o t s i m e s Y_{n}

is isomorphic to

L a m b d a_{0} c u r v e a r r o w r i g h t Y_{0}

.
