Abstract
Suzuki recently gave constructions of non-discrete examples of locally compact C*-simple groups and Raum showed C*-simplicity of the relative profinite completions of the Baumslag-Solitar groups by using Suzuki's results. We extend this result to some fundamental groups of graphs of groups called generalized Baumslag-Solitar groups. In this article, we focus on some sufficient condition to show that these locally compact groups are C*-simple and that KMS-weights of these reduced group C*-algebras are unique. This condition is an analogue of the Powers averaging property of discrete groups and holds for several currently known constructions of non-discrete C*-simple groups.
