Abstract

We construct a one parameter family of ICC groups {Gt}t>1\{G_t\}_{t>1}, with the property that the group factor L(Gt)L(G_t) is isomorphic to the interpolated free group factor L(Ft):=L(F2)1/t1L(\mathbb F_t):=L(\mathbb{F}_2)^{1/\sqrt{t-1}}, t\forall t. Moreover, the groups GtG_t have fixed cost tt, are strongly treeable and freely generate any treeable ergodic equivalence relation of same cost.
