Abstract
We define the standard Borel space of free Araki–Woods factors and prove that their isomorphism relation is not classifiable by countable structures. We also prove that equality of -topologies, arising as invariants of type III factors, as well as cocycle and outer conjugacy of actions of abelian groups on free product factors are not classifiable by countable structures.
