Abstract: We consider a countable discrete group $G$ acting ergodicaly and a.e. freely, by measure-preserving transformations, on an infinite measure space $(mathcalX,u)$ with $sigma$-finite measure $u$. Let $GammasubseteqG$ be an almost normal subgroup with fundamental domain $FsubseteqmathcalX$ of finite measure. Let $mathcal{R}_G$ be the countable measurable equivalence relation on $mathcalX$ determined by the orbits of $G$. Let $mathcal{R}_G|F$ be its restriction to $F$. We find an explicit presentation, by generators and relations, for the von Neumann algebra associated, by the Feldman-Moore (cite{FM}) construction, to the relation $mathcal{R}_G{|}_F$. The generators of the relation $mathcal{R}_G{|}_F$ are a set of transformations of the quotient space $FcongmathcalX/Gamma$, in a one to one correspondence with the cosets of $Gamma$ in $G$. We prove that the composition formula for these transformations is an averaged version, with coefficients in $L^{i}nfty(F,u)$, of the Hecke algebra product formula (cite{BC}). In the situation $G=PG{L}_2(mathbbZ[frac1p])$, $Gamma=PS{L}_2(mathbbZ)$, $pgeq3$ prime number, the relation $mathcal{R}_G{|}_F$ is the equivalence relation associated to a free, measure-preserving action of a free group on $(p+1)/2$ generators on $F$ (cite{Ad},cite {Hj}). We use the coset representations of the transformations generating $mathcal{R}_G{|}_F$ to find a canonical treeing (cite{Ga}).
