Popis: An essentially free group action of $\Gamma$ on $(X,\mu)$ is called W*-superrigid if the crossed product von Neumann algebra $L^\infty(X) \rtimes \Gamma$ completely remembers the group $\Gamma$ and its action on $(X,\mu)$. We prove W*-superrigidity for a class of infinite measure preserving actions, in particular for natural dense subgroups of isometries of the hyperbolic plane. The main tool is a new cocycle superrigidity theorem for dense subgroups of Lie groups acting by translation. We also provide numerous countable type $II_1$ equivalence relations that cannot be implemented by an essentially free action of a group, both of geometric nature and through a wreath product construction.
Comment: v2: The examples in propositions 4.1 and 4.2 have been corrected, taking into account the exceptional isomorphisms for SO(n,m) when n+m=4. There were no other changes
