$W^*$ and $C^*$-superrigidity results for coinduced groups

Abstract

In this paper we explore a generic notion of superrigidity for von Neumann algebras $L(G)$ and reduced $C^*$-algebras $C^*_r(G)$ associated with countable discrete groups $G$. This allows us to classify these algebras for various new classes of groups $G$ from the realm of coinduced groups.
