Abstract

In the late 7070's Feldman and Moore defined the cohomology associated to a countable equivalence relation with coefficients in an Abelian Polish group. When the equivalence relation is the orbital one, that is it is induced by a measure preserving action of a countable group Γ\Gamma on a standard Borel probability space (X,μ)(X,\mu), it still makes sense to consider the Feldmann-Moore 11-cohomology with GG-coefficients, where this time GG can be any topological group. The latter cohomology, denoted by H1(ΓX;G)H^1(\Gamma \curvearrowright X;G), is very misterious and hard to compute, except for some exceptional cases. In this expository paper we are going to focus our attention on the particular case when Γ\Gamma is a finitely generated group and GG is a Hermitian Lie group. We are going to give some recent rigidity results in this context and we will see how those results can be used to say something relevant about (some subsets of) the orbital cohomology.
