Abstract
We prove a noncommutative Bader-Shalom factor theorem for lattices with dense projections in product groups. As an application of this result and our previous works, we obtain a noncommutative Margulis factor theorem for all irreducible lattices in higher rank semisimple algebraic groups. Namely, we give a complete description of all intermediate von Neumann subalgebras sitting between the group von Neumann algebra and the group measure space von Neumann algebra associated with the action on the Furstenberg-Poisson boundary.
