Groups for which all projections of $C^*_{\text{red}}G$ belong to $\mathbb{C}G$

Revision: According to comment of Wojowu we give a complete revise for this post. A group $G$ is a pr-group if all projections of $C^*_{\text{red}} G$ are contained in its dense subalgebra $\mathbb{...

A subset (or subgroup) associated to a group

Edit: According to comment conversations we revise the question. Let $G$ be a group. We consider the following subset of $G$: $$\{g\in G \mid e^{\lambda_g} \in \mathbb{C}\lambda (G)\},$$ where $\...

Does this element belong to $\mathbb CG$?

Let $G$ be a torsion-free group. Let $\alpha$ be a symmetric element of $\mathbb CG$, i.e. $\alpha^*=\alpha$, with $\|\alpha\|_1=\sum|\alpha(g)|<1$, so $\beta:=\sum_{n\ge 0}(-1)^n\alpha^n$ is an ...

Are these element in a group algebra of a torsion-free group zero divisors?

Let $G$ be an arbitrary torsion-free group. For $x,y\in G$, which of these elements‌ can be decided immediately not to be zero divisors in $\mathbb ZG$ (or in $\mathbb CG$)? $$1+x+y,\quad 4+x+x^{-1}+y+...
