Title: Von Neumann equivalence and weak forms of amenability

Abstract: The notion of von Neumann equivalence, which generalizes both measure equivalence and W*-equivalence, was introduced recently by Jesse Peterson, Lauren Ruth, and myself. We showed that many analytic properties, such as amenability, property (T), the Haagerup property, and proper proximality are preserved under von Neumann equivalence. In this talk, I will present my new work expanding the list of properties stable under von Neumann equivalence. In particular, we will discuss the stability of weak amenability, weak Haagerup property, and the approximation property (of Haagerup and Kraus) under von Neumann equivalence.
