Rigidity for von Neumann algebras of graph product groups II. Superrigidity results

Abstract

In \cite{CDD22} we investigated the structure of $\ast$-isomorphisms between von Neumann algebras $L(\Gamma )$ associated with graph product groups $\Gamma$ of flower-shaped graphs and property (T) wreath-like product vertex groups as in \cite{CIOS21}. In this follow-up we continue the structural study of these algebras by establishing that these graph product groups $\Gamma$ are entirely recognizable from the category of all von Neumann algebras arising from an arbitrary non-trivial graph product group with infinite vertex groups. A sharper $C^{\ast }$-algebraic version of this statement is also obtained. In the process of proving these results we also extend the main $W^{\ast }$-superrigidity result from \cite{CIOS21} to direct products of property (T) wreath-like product groups.
