Obstructions for quantitative measure equivalence between locally compact groups

Abstract

Given a measure equivalence coupling between two finitely generated groups, Delabie, Koivisto, Le Ma\^itre and Tessera have found explicit upper bounds on how integrable the associated cocycles can be. We extend these results to the broader framework of unimodular compactly generated locally compact groups. We also generalize a result by the first-named author, showing that the integrability threshold described in these statements cannot be achieved.
