Relative solidity for biexact groups in measure equivalence

Operator Algebras 2025-04-01 v1 Group Theory

Abstract

We demonstrate a relative solidity property for the product of a nonamenable biexact group with an arbitrary infinite group in the measure equivalence setting. Among other applications, we obtain the following unique product decomposition for products of nonamenable biexact groups, strengthening \cite{Sa09}: for any nonamenable biexact groups Γ1,,Γn\Gamma_1,\cdots, \Gamma_n, if a product group Λ1×Λ2\Lambda_1\times \Lambda_2 is measure equivalent to ×k=1nΓk\times_{k=1}^n\Gamma_k, then there exists a partition T1T2={1,,n}T_1\sqcup T_2=\{1,\dots, n\} such that Λi\Lambda_i is measure equivalent to ×kTiΓk\times_{k\in T_i}\Gamma_k for i=1,2i=1,2.
