Abstract

Let GG be a residually finite group. We give an explicit example in the discrete Heisenberg group that the Brown measure of multiplication operators AZ[G]B(2(G))A \in \mathbb{Z}[G] \subseteq \mathcal{B}(\ell^2(G)) in general can not be approximated using finite quotients G/NG/N of GG. We show that in finitely generated abelian groups the Brown measure can be approximated using finite quotients.
