On C*-rigidity problem for torsion-free groups

I'd like to address the $\mathrm{C}^\ast$-rigidity problem for torsion-free groups (see this paper), which asks for non-isomorphic torsion-free groups with isomorphic (reduced) group $\mathrm{C}^\ast$-...

Why are projectionless $C^*$-algebras important (Kadison's conjecture)

It was considered an important result for a long time to show that the reduced $C^*$-algebra of the free group $C^*_r(F_2)$ has no nontrivial projections. I believe this is also known as Kadison's ...

Failure of Tomiyama's property ($F$) for reduced group $C^*$-algebras

Are there known examples of discrete groups such that the minimal tensor product of their reduced group $C^\ast$-algebras does not have Tomiyama's property ($F$)? Such groups must necessarily be non-...

Bochner theorem for (non-abelian) discrete groups

I am interested in Pontryagin duality-like theories for discrete groups, more particularly, whether an analogue to Bochner's theorem for abelian groups exists in the discrete non-finite and non-...

Continuous functions on HLS groupoids

I am reading a paper about property (T) for groupoids: Topological property (T) for groupoids. In section 4.4 they discuss the HLS groupoids which I describe define here. Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete ...

A cross product on $C^*_{red} G$

For every group $G$, the reduced group $C^*$-algebra $C^*_{red}G$ is equipped with the inner product $\langle a,b\rangle=tr(ab^*)$ where "$tr$" is the standard trace on group $C^*$-algebras. For ...
