Popa's W*-superrigidity conjecture for property (T) groups
Popa's W*-superrigidity conjecture for property (T) groups
Let be an ICC group with property (T), let be a group, and let and denote their group von Neumann algebras. An isomorphism is said to be induced by a character and a group isomorphism up to conjugation by a unitary element when it has that form. Popa's conjecture. For any such and , every isomorphism
is induced by a character and a group isomorphism , up to conjugation by a unitary element. This generalizes Connes' rigidity conjecture and incorporates Jones' formula for outer automorphisms. The statement is presented as a conjectural strengthening for property (T) groups; no resolution is given here.
