Résumé
Abstract

Nous démontrons que si deux groupes d’Artin à angles droits sans transvections sont mesurablement équivalents, alors ils ont des graphes d’extension isomorphes. En conséquence, deux groupes d’Artin à angles droits ayant des groupes d’automorphismes extérieurs finis sont mesurablement équivalents si et seulement s’ils sont isomorphes. Ceci coïncide avec la classification pour la quasi-isométrie. Par contre, contrairement au cas de la quasi-isométrie, un groupe d’Artin à angles droits ne peut jamais être super-rigide pour l’équivalence mesurée, pour deux raisons. D’abord, un groupe d’Artin à angles droits $G$ est toujours mesurablement équivalent à tout produit graphé de groupes moyennables infinis dénombrables sur le même graphe sous-jacent. Ensuite, lorsque $G$ est non abélien, le groupe d’automorphismes du revêtement universel du complexe de Salvetti de $G$ contient toujours des réseaux (non uniformes) qui ne sont pas de type fini.

We prove that if two transvection-free right-angled Artin groups are measure equivalent, then they have isomorphic extension graphs. As a consequence, two right-angled Artin groups with finite outer automorphism groups are measure equivalent if and only if they are isomorphic. This matches the quasi-isometry classification. However, in contrast with the quasi-isometry question, we observe that no right-angled Artin group is superrigid for measure equivalence in the strongest possible sense, for two reasons. First, a right-angled Artin group $G$ is always measure equivalent to any graph product of infinite countable amenable groups over the same defining graph. Second, when $G$ is nonabelian, the automorphism group of the universal cover of the Salvetti complex of $G$ always contains infinitely generated (non-uniform) lattices.
