Rigidity for von Neumann algebras of graph product groups, I: Structure of automorphisms

Ionuţ Chifan, Michael Davis and Daniel Drimbe

Vol. 18 (2025), No. 5, 1119–1146
Abstract

We study various rigidity aspects of the von Neumann algebra L(Γ), where Γ is a graph product group whose underlying graph is a certain cycle of cliques and the vertex groups are wreath-like product property (T) groups. Using an approach that combines methods from Popa’s deformation/rigidity theory with new techniques pertaining to graph product algebras, we describe all symmetries of these von Neumann algebras and reduced C-algebras by establishing formulas in the spirit of Genevois and Martin’s results on automorphisms of graph product groups.
