Abstract: A group $G$ is called $W^{*}$-superrigid (resp. $C^{*}$-superrigid) if it is completely recognizable from its von Neumann algebra $L(G)$ (resp. reduced $C^{*}$-algebra $C_r^{*}(G)$). Developing new technical aspects in Popa's deformation/rigidity theory we introduce several new classes of $W^{*}$-superrigid groups which appear as direct products, semidirect products with non-amenable core and iterations of amalgamated free products and HNN-extensions. As a byproduct we obtain new rigidity results in $C^{*}$-algebra theory including additional examples of $C^{*}$-superrigid groups and explicit computations of symmetries of reduced group $C^{*}$-algebras.
