Finitely presented simple groups and measure equivalence

Group Theory 2023-10-16 v2

Abstract

We exhibit explicit infinite families of finitely presented, Kazhdan, simple groups that are pairwise not measure equivalent. These groups are lattices acting on products of buildings. We obtain the result by studying vanishing and non-vanishing of their L2L^2-Betti numbers.
