W*-superrigidity for discrete quantum groups (2504.03266v1)

Abstract: A discrete group $G$ is called W*-superrigid if the group $G$ can be entirely recovered from the ambient group von Neumann algebra $L(G)$. We introduce an analogous notion for discrete quantum groups. We prove that this strengthened quantum W*-superrigidity property holds for a natural family of co-induced discrete quantum groups. We also prove that, remarkably, most existing families of W*-superrigid groups are not quantum W*-superrigid.
