comment Not measure equivalent ICC groups $G$ and $H$, but $L(G)\cong L(H)$
We can further ask a weak version of the big one: Does $L(G)\cong L(H)$ and $G$ satisfies property $(T)$ imply that $G, H$ are measure equivalent? We can also replace the property $(T)$ by any other known invariant properties under Measure equivalent. Still, much work to be done on both sides, ME and von Neumann algebra equivalence.

comment Not measure equivalent ICC groups $G$ and $H$, but $L(G)\cong L(H)$
If this type question is sensitive to the separable argument, then a naive approach would be to find ICC groups $\{G_{\alpha}\}_{\alpha\in A}$, where $A$ is a uncountable set, and require $\{L(G_{\alpha})\}$ has at most countable different equivalent classes (maybe we can achieve this by considering the invariant associated to the $L(G_{\alpha})$, dimension, etc.) and at the same time require $G_{\alpha}$ has uncountable many different classes module the ME relation. Of course, these $\{G_{\alpha}\}$ should not have property $(T)$, and it may be not practical.

comment Not measure equivalent ICC groups $G$ and $H$, but $L(G)\cong L(H)$
sorry, I do not quite understand the meaning you say "so that L(G) has some restrictions on the fundamental group". The problem asked for constructing $G, H$ such that $L(G)\cong L(H)$ and $G, H$ are not measure equivalent or show such $G, H$ do not exist. Is the expression misleading or am I miss some point?

comment Fuglede-Kadison determinants in $L(\mathbb{F}_2)$
@Andreas, the result of the spectral measure in the above paper looks complicated, it seems unclear whether we could get a similar result as Li's in this case. I guess one reason is that we could not apply finite approximation argument in $L(\mathbb{F}_2)$ as the case when the gorup is amenable?
