W*-superrigidity for group von Neumann algebras

A countable group G is said to be W*-superrigid if G can be entirely recovered from its ambient group von Neumann algebra L(G). I will present a series of joint works with Milan Donvil in which we establish new degrees of W*-superrigidity: isomorphisms may be replaced by virtual isomorphisms expressed by finite index bimodules, the group von Neumann algebra may be twisted by a 2-cocycle, the group G might have infinite center, or we may enlarge the category of discrete groups to the broader class of discrete quantum groups.
