Twisted Connes–Popa rigidity conjecture for ICC property (T) groups

About 1 year old · traced to

Let GG be an ICC property (T) group, let HH be an arbitrary countable ICC group, and let d:G×G→Td:G\times G\to\mathbb{T} and c:H×H→Tc:H\times H\to\mathbb{T} be 22-cocycles. For t>0t>0, suppose that

Ψ:Ld(G)t→Lc(H)\Psi:\mathcal{L}_d(G)^t\to\mathcal{L}_c(H)

is a ∗*-isomorphism. Twisted Connes–Popa rigidity conjecture. Then t=1t=1, there is a group isomorphism δ:G→H\delta:G\to H such that dd is cohomologous to c∘δc\circ\delta, and there exist a map ξ:G→T\xi:G\to\mathbb{T}, a multiplicative character η:G→T\eta:G\to\mathbb{T}, and a unitary w∈Ld(H)w\in\mathcal{L}_d(H) satisfying

d(g,h)=ξgξhc(δ(g),δ(h))ξgh‾d(g,h)=\xi_g\xi_hc(\delta(g),\delta(h))\overline{\xi_{gh}}

and

Ψ(ug)=ηgξgwvδ(g)w∗,for all g∈G.\Psi(u_g)=\eta_g\xi_gwv_{\delta(g)}w^*,\qquad\text{for all }g\in G.

This is proposed as an extension of Popa's strengthening of Connes' rigidity conjecture to twisted group factors. The source gives preceding results supporting the formulation but does not state that it is resolved.
