Abstract
We consider II factors of the form , where either i) is a non-hyperfinite II factor and is an ICC amenable group or ii) is a weakly rigid II factor and is ICC group and where acts on by Bernoulli shifts. We prove that isomorphism of two such factors implies cocycle conjugacy of the corresponding Bernoulli shift actions. In particular, the groups acting are isomorphic. As a consequence, we can distinguish between certain classes of group von Neumann algebras associated to wreath product groups.
