Abstract
We prove that the twisted group C*-algebra of a finitely generated nilpotent group is -stable if and only if it is nowhere scattered, a condition that we characterize in terms of the given group and 2-cocycle. As a main application, we prove new converses to the Balian-Low Theorem for projective, square-integrable representations of nilpotent Lie groups.
