Abstract:
We show that given any subgroup of which is either countable or belongs to a certain ``large'' class of uncountable subgroups, there exist continuously many free ergodic measure-preserving actions of the free group with infinitely many generators on probability measure spaces such that their associated group measure space II factors and orbit equivalence relations have fundamental group equal to and with (respectively ) stably non-isomorphic. Moreover, these actions can be taken so that has no outer automorphisms and any automorphism of is unitarily conjugate to an automorphism that acts trivially on the subalgebra of .
