Abstract
We provide a new large class of amalgamated free product groups for which the product rigidity result from [CdSS15] holds: if and is any group such that , then there exists a product decomposition such that is stably isomorphic to , for any . The class contains and -superrigid groups from [CD-AD20]. Consequently, we obtain examples of product groups that are both and -superrigid.
