An alternative proof of Gaboriau-Popa
Abstract. Damien Gaboriau and Sorin Popa showed that the free group on two generators admits continuum many measure preserving, ergodic, orbit inequivalent actions on standard Borel probability spaces. I will sketch a proof which does not use property (T) -- and discuss some questions this argument raises.
