Amenability for unitary groups of simple monotracial C*-algebras

Operator Algebras 2023-09-01 v2 Functional Analysis

Abstract

We prove the following two results. First, the isometry semigroup of a unital properly infinite nuclear C*-algebra is right amenable. Second, the unitary group of a unital simple monotracial C*-algebra whose tracial GNS representation is hyperfinite is skew-amenable in the weak topology. This answers in part a conjecture of Alekseev, Schmidt, and Thom and a question of Pestov.
