Solid ergodicity and orbit equivalence rigidity for coinduced actions
We prove that the solid ergodicity property is stable with respect to taking coinduction for a fairly large class of coinduced action. More precisely, assume that $\Sigma<\Gamma$ are countable groups such that $g\Sigma g^{-1}\cap \Sigma$ is finite for any $g\in\Gamma\setminus\Sigma$. Then any measure preserving action $\Sigma\curvearrowright X_0$ gives rise to a solidly ergodic equivalence relation if and only if the equivalence relation of the associated coinduced action $\Gamma\curvearrowright X$ is solidly ergodic. We also obtain orbit equivalence rigidity for such actions by showing that the orbit equivalence relation of a rigid or compact measure preserving action $\Sigma\curvearrowright X_0$ of a property (T) group is "remembered" by the orbit equivalence relation of $\Gamma\curvearrowright X$.
