$C^*$-rigidity of the Heisenberg group

Operator Algebras 2024-10-01 v2 Representation Theory

Abstract

We prove that the Heisenberg groups can be distinguished from the other connected and simply connected Lie groups via their group CC^*-algebras. The main step of the proof is a characterization of the nilpotent Lie groups among the solvable Lie groups solely in terms of topological properties of their coadjoint orbits.
