Abstract

Let Γ\Gamma be a torsion-free lattice of PU(p,1)\text{PU}(p,1) with p2p \geq 2 and let (X,μX)(X,\mu_X) be an ergodic standard Borel probability Γ\Gamma-space. We prove that any maximal Zariski dense measurable cocycle σ:Γ×XSU(m,n)\sigma: \Gamma \times X \longrightarrow \text{SU}(m,n) is cohomologous to a cocycle associated to a representation of PU(p,1)\text{PU}(p,1) into SU(m,n)\text{SU}(m,n), with 1<mn1 < m \leq n. The proof follows the line of Zimmer' Superrigidity Theorem and requires the existence of a boundary map, that we prove in a much more general setting. As a consequence of our result, it cannot exist a maximal measurable cocycle with the above properties when nmn\neq m.
