Unique Cartan decomposition for II1 factors arising from arbitrary actions of hyperbolic groups

We prove that for any free ergodic probability measure preserving action of a non-elementary hyperbolic group, or a lattice in a rank one simple Lie group, the associated group measure space II factor has as its unique Cartan subalgebra, up to unitary conjugacy.
