rigidity results for group von neumann algebras with diffuse center

abstract:

we introduce the first examples of groups g with an infinite center which in a natural sense are completely recognizable from their von neumann algebras, l(g). specifically, assume that g=a x w, where a is an infinite abelian group and w is an icc wreath-like product group with property (t) and trivial abelianization.  then whenever h is an arbitrary group such that l(g) is isomorphic to l(h), via an arbitrary isomorphism preserving the canonical traces, it must be the case that h= b x h_0 where b is infinite abelian and h_0 is isomorphic to w. moreover, we completely describe the isomorphism between l(g) and l(h). this yields new applications to the classification of group c*-algebras, including examples of non-amenable groups which are recoverable from their reduced c*-algebras but not from their von neumann algebras. this is joint work with ionuţ chifan and hui tan.
