Abstract: We obtain new Bass-Serre type rigidity results for mII1 equivalence relations and their von Neumann algebras, coming from free ergodic actions of free products of groups on the standard probability space. As an application, we show that any non-amenable factor arising as an amalgamated free product of von Neumann algebras mathcalM1astBmathcalM2 over an abelian von Neumann algebra B, is prime, i.e. cannot be written as a tensor product of diffuse factors. This gives, both in the type mII1 and in the type mIII case, new examples of prime factors.
