$II_1$ factors of negatively curved groups

Abstract:

I will present some structural results for $II_1$ factors of products of hyperbolic groups and their ergodic actions. Applications will be given to the measure equivalence theory of such groups. This is joint work with Ionut Chifan and Bogdan Udrea.
