In [1] Arveson associated a non-self-adjoint operator algebra, 5I (X, m, r), with each ergodic measure preserving transformation, τ, on a probability measure space,(X, m), and he showed that the unitary equivalence class of ill (X, m, τ) determines the conjugacy class of t and vice versa. That is, he showed that 9l (X, m, r) and 2I (X', m', r') are unitarily equivalent if and only if τ and τ'are conjugate. The algebra'ϋ (Χ, ηι, τ) is closely related to a subalgebra of the group-measure von Neumann algebra W*(X, m, τ) constructed from L (X) and τ. This subalgebra of W*(X, m, τ) was formally defined in [7] and subsequently was studied systematically by McAsey and the authors [8-10](and by others) under the name" non-self-adjoint crossed product"; nowadays, for a variety of reasons, we call it an" analytic crossed product" The important thing to keep in mind is that while the unitary equivalence class of 9i (X, m, τ) constitutes a complete set of conjugacy invariants for τ, as does the related analytic crossed product, W*(X, m, x) contains no information about the conjugacy class of τ. The reason, quite simply, is that for each such τ, W*(X, m, T) is a hyperfinite IIt factor and all such factors are isomorphic (under the appropriate separability assumption, of course). In a subsequent paper [2], Arveson and Josephson improved on [1] by showing that the isomorphism class of 51 (X, w, t) determined τ up to conjugacy. Our objective in this paper is to extend their analysis and to relate the outer conjugacy class of an automorphism of a von Neumann algebra to the isomorphism class of the analytic crossed product constructed from the automorphism. More precisely, let M (respectively N) be a von Neumann algebra, let α (respectively β) be a*-automorphism
