Abstract

We show that, for any countable discrete nonamenable group Γ, the relations of conjugacy, orbit equivalence, stable orbit equivalence, von Neumann equivalence, and stable von Neumann equivalence of free ergodic pmp actions of Γ on the standard atomless probability space are not Borel. This answers a question of Kechris.
